NORTHEAST HOUSTON– On Wednesday, January 12 Houston Can! Academy had a ribbing cutting ceremony at their new location in north central Houston.
The 34,000 square foot campus is located at 3401 Hardy Street. This North campus location has an enrollment of approximately 415 students and has room to grow to 450 students.
The facility was formerly a Yes Academy charter school campus. Texas Can! purchased the building and has spent $1.1. million in renovation and construction costs to create a state-of-the art learning environment for their students.
Houston Can! Academy students typically are 14-21 years old and usually enroll in the school as former drop-outs or students who have not been successful in traditional schools. Some are parents themselves, homeless or foster children who have lived in multiple homes and attended many schools. It is also a school of choice for parents whose students thrive in smaller classrooms with a more relationship-based education.
The mission of Houston Can! is to provide a second chance for at-risk youth and their families to achieve economic independence and hope for a better life.
