Western Bank was proud to support the grand opening of Pathway Academy’s new school location in Big Spring earlier this week!
We are especially proud of Joel De La Garza, SVP & Big Spring President, who serves as President of the Pathway Academy Board, helping advance its mission to make a lasting difference in the lives of local students.
This new campus represents far more than a new building. It brings hope and opportunity to young minds across Howard County. It reflects the power of a community committed to serving others and creating pathways to success by challenging cycles of failure and despair.
Pathway Academy is dedicated to fostering a culture of high expectations, purpose, and personal growth, empowering every student and staff member to recognize their value and potential. Through the commitment of its educators, support staff, and board members, students are given the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve greatness.
Western Bank is honored to partner with organizations like Pathway Academy that are investing in the future of our community and creating a positive impact for generations to come.
