The 2017-18 school year started in Houston two weeks late due to the impact of Hurricane Harvey. Fortunately, none of the four Houston IPAA/PESA-supported Petroleum Academies were seriously impacted. Many activities were still able to be provided for the students in the five IPAA/PESA-supported high school Petroleum Academies, but some needed to be rescheduled to the spring 2018 semester. These activities would not have been possible without the tremendous support of the many companies, organizations and individuals who have helped sustain the work of the IPAA/PESA Energy Education Center.
