SPC Instructor Recognized at 2007 San Antonio Black Achievement Awards

On Saturday, March 10, 2007 the 19th San Antonio Black Achievement Awards banquet was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Pam Ray, St. Philip's College program director/instructor of early childhood, received the Achievement Award for education.

Ray stated, I was already surprised to be notified I was a recipient and then to be announced as the winner." I feel blessed to have been recognized with an "A" list of other recipients. I share this recognition with my SPC family, especially as we celebrate our 109th birthday. I believe that the motto of the San Antonio Black Achievement Awards “Excellence has no boundaries, for one who excels cannot be ignored or denied” speaks to the legacy of Ms. Bowden.   
 
The San Antonio Black Achievement Awards Banquet raises funds to support the Calasca D. Murphy Foundation of San Antonio, Texas. The Foundation focuses its attention on scholarships as the best vehicle to encourage high school seniors to continue their education. Scholarships are awarded to outstanding students who demonstrate an appreciation of the importance of education through academia, extracurricular activities and involvement in the community.
