Houston, Texas Resources
Elizabethtown, Kentucky
Rarely have our staff received a welcome as warm and enthusiastic as we experienced in Elizabethtown. From the first meeting with Elizabethtown Community & Technical College (ECTC), it was clear that a collaboration was beginning to support not only student parents and their families but also any student or prospective student wanting the education necessary for their chosen career field. With the new and innovative industries coming to Hardin County, FSH is glad to be a partner in preparing area residents for new workforce opportunities. In addition to having an office and staff at ECTC, Family Scholar House is working with the college and community leadership to build a residential campus for student-parent families.

June is for celebrating our graduates. So today, take a moment with us to acknowledge the accomplishments of Marista Schmitz, who just earned her Applied Associate of Science Degree in Human Services and Technical Certificate in Addiction Studies.
Marista is actually still a student; she’s beginning her Legal Studies through Ivy Tech Community College this summer. Her dream is to open her own recovery home for veterans, focusing on addiction and PTSD.
Every Family Scholar House graduate moves us one step forward in our mission to end the cycle of poverty and transform our community by empowering families and youth to succeed in education and achieve life-long self-sufficiency.
Congratulations, Marista — and best of luck as you continue to pursue your studies and your dreams! ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations!
We’re celebrating some of our Family Scholar House participant graduates all month long. So let’s give a shout-out to Witleigh Williams, who just earned her Associates in Health Sciences for Physical Therapy Assistant from Ivy Tech Community College.
Witleigh is scheduled to take her boards in July to get licensed, after which she plans to work in an outpatient physical therapy facility.
Like all our Family Scholar House graduates, Witleigh’s success is another milestone in our mission to end the cycle of poverty and transform our community by empowering families and youth to succeed in education and achieve life-long self-sufficiency.
Congratulations, Witleigh! ... See MoreSee Less
