👜 Purses with Purpose is ON.
This year, we're celebrating two incredible milestones: 10 years of Purses with Purpose and 35 years of the McKinney Education Foundation serving McKinney ISD students and educators.
For a decade, Purses with Purpose has been more than a fundraiser. It has become a community tradition fueled by generosity, purpose, and a shared belief in opportunity. Together, we've invested in students, empowered educators, and strengthened the future of our schools.
Join us on October 7, 2026, as we celebrate the impact of the past and the promise of what's ahead.

🎓 College planning starts now.
This summer, our College Advisors will be supporting students and families at the Dallas Area Recruitment Network (DARN) College Search Series, a great opportunity to connect with admissions representatives from colleges and universities across the country.
Schools currently attending include Texas A&M, UT Austin, Texas Tech, The University of Alabama, University of Oklahoma, University of Arkansas, University of Arizona, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, University of Kentucky, University of Houston, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and many more.
Whether you're just beginning your college search or narrowing down your options, this event is a great way to explore programs, learn about admissions and scholarships, and start planning for what's next after high school.
We hope to see you there! 💛
