Family Services Center

The Family Services Center Makes a Difference to Children

Children and families today are facing many challenges that can become barriers to a quality education and a successful future. Hough Foundation established the Family Services Center to meet the needs of a diverse school community.  When children are fed, clothed, nurtured and cared for, the whole community benefits.  The Family Services Center is designed to respond quickly and effectively to the ever-changing needs of our most precious resource — children.

"There is virtually no morning, afternoon or day of the week when children are not pressing me or another teacher to see the Family Services Coordinator."

- Hough Teacher of 24 years.
