Humble ISD awarded $25 million FEMA grant to protect Kingwood High School from flooding
Humble ISD is receiving $25 million to help protect Kingwood High School from future flooding. FEMA has approved a flood mitigation application submitted by the district.
“Every time we have a major weather event, Kingwood High School students and staff worry that they might be disrupted and displaced from their high school once again,” Humble ISD Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Fagen said. “Hurricane Harvey was a traumatic experience. This grant will enable Humble ISD to finalize flood mitigation plans that will dramatically reduce flooding risks to KHS, alleviate anxiety and protect valuable community assets. We appreciate the support received from Congressman Dan Crenshaw for our application to invest in infrastructure improvements.”
