In Loving Memory of George James Brown

 George James Brown, an esteemed educator, devoted husband, and beloved patriarch, peacefully passed away on December 30, 2023, at his home in Mount Pleasant, Texas. Born on September 16, 1937, in Austin, Texas, George's remarkable life was filled with achievements, lasting relationships, and a profound dedication to education.

TREA has partnered with the Dee Howard International Education Foundation to provide free STEM presentations and learning resources in the field of Aeronautics.  We encourage you to sign up as a participating school district.  There is no cost to the District for these resources.  Please feel free to distribute as you see fit, as we want our students in small and rural districts to have access to high quality materials in this field.
