Mission Success

Mission Success’ first official appearance at SEA Individual Nationals!! We flew 5 of our student-athletes to Boston to compete at Brooks School, Philips Academy- Andover, and Squash Busters Lawrence.

Congratulations to Leobardo Villasana (6th grade) who placed 3rd in the BU13 division! Addisyn Brown (7th grade) also won the consolation bracket in the GU13 Division, placing her 5th. Sofia Boudreaux (9th grade) placed 6th in the GU15 division. This was their first travel and SEA tournament for both girls!

Edgar Estrada (Alumni) and Jayden Oydervidez (11th grade) both played A divisions for their age groups BU17 & 19. They faced highly competitive opponents, yet played showing determination and perseverance!

We also made our way to MIT where we got to check-out the squash courts and do some sightseeing in Boston.

Yesterday was an incredible day at the PEERS Competition! 🎉

Throughout the entire school year, nine of our HS student-athletes met weekly with UH Honors College student mentors to develop a solution to the question: “With $5 million, how would you improve the environmental health of Houston?”

For the second year in a row, one of our Mission Success teams took home 🥇 1st Place out of more than 20 teams from high schools across Houston!

Our students focused on PFAs (“forever chemicals”) and the increased environmental runoff surrounding AI/data centers. They designed an innovative home filtration solution and even created a 3D-printed prototype of their product.

We are incredibly proud of the innovation, commitment, collaboration, and academic rigor our students demonstrated throughout this experience. At Mission Success, we are committed not only to helping students become the best versions of themselves, but also empowering them to improve quality of life for others — especially vulnerable communities in Houston and beyond.

Huge thank you to the PEERS program, the UH Honors College mentors, and everyone who supported our students along the way. 💙
