The Children’s Assessment Center (CAC) is a nationally accredited advocacy center committed to providing a professional, compassionate and coordinated approach to the treatment of sexually abused children and their families and to serving as an advocate for all children in the community. Recognizing the need to provide advanced technology interviewing child victims of sexual abuse and assault, Spindletop’s $300,000 grant in 2006 allowed the CAC to convert their analog system to a state-of-the-art digital system for recording interviews in the new “Spindletop Circle of Care” wing. An additional grant in 2007 of $150,000 helped the center complete the digital conversion of their medical interviewing wing.
Spindletop representatives Constance White and Duane Radtke present a $300,000 check to Children's Assessment Center representatives Susan Wagner, Elaine Stolte, Congressman Ted Poe and Harris County Judge Robert Eckels. Spindletop representatives Kirby Arceneaux, Constance White, Clarence Cazalot, Lauren Postler and Jeff Gorski attended the “ribbon cutting ceremony” for the newly funded YES North Central campus.

Founded in 1998, YES Prep Public School is a free, open-enrollment public school system that serves low-income minority students in 6th-12th grade. The ultimate goal of the YES Prep Public School system is to create a critical mass of college educated students who can then return to Houston and bring real change to under-served neighborhoods and communities. YES is the only school in greater Houston to make Newsweek’s list of the Top 100 Public Schools in America and the best public school in Houston, two years in a row! Thanks to a $500,000 grant from Spindletop, the YES North Central campus opened its doors in the fall of 2006. This pledge represents the largest in Spindletop history!
