Al Segura, assistant principal at Summer Creek, is the visionary who saw the program, explored it, and presented it to James Gaylord who teaches construction management at the school. “They've learned to serve others and have an empathy and appreciation for the veterans who served our country,” he said.

When Gaylord started the first year of the program at Summer Creek in 2017, Dick and his students were sharing the campus with them after Kingwood High was flooded by Hurricane Harvey. Dick and his students immediately went into fundraising mode since the program is not funded by the district. “They made our kids feel so comfortable and that they could accomplish anything. The peer-to-peer support was phenomenal.”“I was learning right beside them on things I didn’t know,” he said.
