Tree Giveaway Recap
Last weekend, Endeavor High School partnered with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) and the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) to host a native fruit tree giveaway. The event was a huge success, with over 203 community members attending and taking home a total of 400 trees for their backyards! This giveaway was part of an ongoing effort to increase tree canopy in Harris County neighborhoods and promote food security by providing access to locally grown fruit.
The event was run by Student Conservation Association interns, Endeavor High School staff, and ten Endeavor High School volunteers. These volunteers are part of Project Green, the school’s environmental program. They showed up early to help out and did an incredible job representing Endeavor at the event!
If you weren’t able to make it this time, don’t worry! The Student Conservation Association will be hosting another free native fruit tree giveaway at the end of March. More details will be posted online and in the Endeavor High School newsletter as the event gets closer.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the event and take home a tree! Not only will these trees produce fruit for your home, but they’ll also make Channelview greener and keep the air cleaner.

Access Scholarships is a free scholarship and college resource platform for student. Their goal is to connect high school students with scholarship opportunities and other financial aid resources to to help them navigate the (often complicated) world of higher education.
In addition to the scholarship search and directory (with over 10,000 scholarships in their database-they add to everyday), they have several resources specifically geared towards high school students.
All of the links below are great resources and opportunities for you!
What is the ACT/SAT test?
Both the SAT and the ACT are nationally administered, standardized tests that help schools evaluate your application and see how prepared you are for college courses. The SAT and ACT generally cover the same topics. Both ACT and SAT scores are used for college admissions decisions and awarding merit-based scholarships. Most colleges do not prefer one test over the other. Neither the SAT nor ACT is harder than the other. Different students tend to do better on one test than the other.
Ask Mrs. Jackson or Mrs. Salinas for more information.
ACT Vs. SAT Which is right for you?
The following is needed for a student to drive to Endeavor:
- A valid Texas driver's license

Students who drive to school without a license run the risk of receiving a citation from our campus Constable and will not be allowed to drive off of the campus with their vehicle. See Mrs. Barrientos in the front office for a permit.
For the protection of our students, food deliveries and visitors who are not on a student's emergency contact list are not allowed during lunch. Along with students having an option for a free lunch, there are microwave ovens available in the cafeteria for students to use. Milk and fruit are available to students who bring their own lunch at no charge.
