Friends of Communities In Schools (CIS) is a group of diverse and influential community members with a common passion for supporting and empowering students to graduate and achieve in life. Friends of CIS was established in 2009 when a group of Friends sounded a call to action. Responding to a news headline, they wrote: “San Antonio a dropout factory… Not on our watch.” Since then, Friends of CIS has organized to be a sounding call for the great work that CIS does in our schools, in our city and in our nation. Today, Friends continues their efforts to build a community of support for students.
