“I have been involved with Star House for the past 10 years. During this time I have witnessed the positive impact it’s had on the students we serve and their families. This program helps students succeed academically as well as teaching them leadership skills, manners and respect towards others. It’s an honor to be a part of this outstanding organization.”
– Debbie Brandes
