Collin County Community College

For this entry, I thought I would touch on Collin County Community College, or as we call it, Collin College. Frisco is a successful city because of the partners we have to help build our community. Collin College is a key partner in many of the things we do. Not only does Collin College provide an education for our citizens, but they also participate in several city programs including the Tax Increment Finance District, which has helped build Stonebriar Mall, Pizza Hut Park, DR Pepper/Stars Center and helped keep our property taxes low.

I serve on the Collin County Community College Education Foundation which helps provide scholarships for students. With over 40,000 students and 100 degree and certification programs, Collin College is a very important educational institution. I serve on the board and also on the executive committee as the secretary of the organization along with several community leaders. I am very lucky to have the honor of serving with this board of very experienced community leaders and volunteers. We are always looking for new donors and board members to help provide scholarships - we always have more scholarship requests than funds to meet it. Please consider becoming part of the team!
