Towne Lake is proud to send its students to Cy-Fair I.S.D. schools, as the district is award-winning and dedicated to continuing education with innovative curricula. This week (December 6-12) marks National Computer Science Education Week by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The first full week in December was chosen to honor computer science education in honor of Grace Murray Hopper, a pioneer in the field who was born on December 9, 1906. Hopper engineered new programming languages and pioneered standards for computer systems, which laid the foundation for several advances in computer science from the late 1940s through the 1970s.
Denise Kubecka, CFISD's coordinator for secondary technology applications noted, "Computing is something that touches everyone’s life on a daily basis. As a result, more and more jobs have a connection to computer science. Being exposed to computer science education allows students to engage in critical and computational thinking—both which are necessary for success in any field in this digital age."

Towne Lake Honors Principal Debbie Jackson:
Oak Tree to be Living Legacy of Longtime Educator
Mrs. Debbie Jackson, Principal of Postma Elementary School, will retire in June after 34 years in education. In honor of Mrs. Jackson, Towne Lake has donated and planted a live oak tree in the Postma Elementary playground.
Mrs. Jackson has dedicated her career to education, having served Cy-Fair ISD for 26 years, Spring Branch ISD for 6 years, and a private school for 2 years. She has taught children from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade, as well as adult classes in Emergency Medical Services. Two years ago, she was honored by being named principal of the new Postma Elementary.
