On April 30, Austin ISD and Austin Partners In Education recognize exceptional volunteers and community members for their commitment to preparing AISD students for college and careers.

The annual Celebrate event is a night dedicated to bringing together the AISD community, volunteers and school leaders to recognize excellence throughout the district and honor people who have been instrumental in educating students.

Volunteers play an integral role in helping make AISD nationally recognized as an outstanding school district. Each year, APIE trains more than 1,500 community volunteers to be classroom coaches and mentors who help fulfill the nonprofit group’s core mission to help make a significant difference in a child’s education and life.

Awards will include Rookie of the Year, Media Champion, Donor Champion, Mentors and Volunteers of the year, and Business Partner.

Celebrate features live music, refreshments and a photo booth, and is open to all AISD staff, families and community members.

The event is 5:30–8:30 p.m. April 30 at For the City Center, 500 E. St. Johns Ave. For more information, please call (512) 637-0900.
