“The Future’s So Bright” is the theme for The Parish School gala this year, and as they embark on the year 2020 with a new head of school, growing campus and thriving students — the theme is reflective of the growing success of the school’s program. The 27th annual gala will be held from 6 p.m. to midnight on Friday, January 24, 2020, at The Ballroom at Bayou Place, 500 Texas, in Houston.

The board of trustees of The Parish School has appointed Cheval Bryant, MCD, CCC-SLP, as the next head of school, effective June 3, 2019. Bryant replaces Nancy Bewley, the current head of school, who is retiring at the end of the 2018-19 school year.
