We are so happy to have GRADcafé by Project GRAD in excellent hands under the leadership of TCCC Tejano Center for Community Concerns, an organization that recognizes the importance of quality early childhood education and the positive impact it has in achieving academic success.

Thank you Commissioner Adrian Garcia for your leadership in making RYSS Castillo Early Childhood STEM Academy a reality and for acknowledging the contributions of our founders, the late Jim Ketelsen and Kathryn Ketelsen, to the Near Northside and beyond.
