We hope you find our website educational and inspiring. The Lee Next Step Fund could not exist without the help of community supporters like you. About Us
We are a small non-profit organization committed to the Lee High School community (Houston, TX) to ensure that more low-income, at-risk students gain access to college- and career-preparatory learning experiences while they are still in high school. These experiences help ensure more students are put on track to the next step of a successful future.Paypal Donate

2010 Annual Spring Benefit a Success!
More than 70 individuals joined us at the Houston Racquet Club on Tuesday, April 13 for the Lee Next Step Fund's 3rd Annual Spring Benefit. Check out pictures of our event here on our website!
Besides the exquisite venue, food, and unprecedented support for the non-profit, the highlight of the evening included student testimonials about how the Lee Next Step Fund has given them the opportunity to experience life-changing college-prep programs. Lee alumnus, Cheikh Beye (class of '09) closed the program by saying, "I believe it is only right for me to give back to the community and to make sure that young people that follow in my foot steps have the same opportunities as I did," as he urged attendees to show their support. Cheikh attended Youth About Business at the University of Houston and Vanderbilt University. Now, he is a general studies major at Texas A & M, and an active senator for the university campus.
THANK YOU to all who have supported this initiative this year. With your help, we will impact more Lee students.
Are you a Lee Alum?
We'd love to hear from you!
Lee High School is a Houston high school legacy. Founded in 1962, Lee is the alma mater of a large and dynamic group of citizens across our city, state, and country. While the "Lee today" is drastically different from the Robert E. Lee that began years ago, our commitment to excellence hasn't waivered. Our hope is that all Lee alumni, regardless of graduation year, encounter success in their own lives and contribute to the future success of generations to come.
If you are a Lee Alum and would like to find out ways that you can support the Lee Next Step Fund or simply connect with other Lee Alum doing so, please contact us.
