Betsy Phillips,- Director of Development, The Chinquapin School

The Chinquapin School was founded in 1969 by Robert Moore, a former head of the English Department at St. John's School, and his wife Maxine, with the help of a grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc. The Moores saw the need to provide incentive for students who have high potential, but limited opportunities.
Chinquapin is a non-profit, college preparatory school, grades six through twelve, for economically disadvantaged youth from the Houston area.
The mission of The Chinquapin School is to provide a high quality college-preparatory education to able and motivated youth from low-income families in the Greater Houston area.  Through its rigorous curriculum and an emphasis on communty service and earning what one receives, Chinquapin aims to produce responsible, well-educated citizens who will become constructive leaders in the community.
