Galaxy Partners with Communities In Schools of the South Plains to Support Students in Dickens County

Galaxy has entered into a three-year partnership with Communities In Schools of the South Plains (CIS-SP) to bring full-time student support services to Dickens County, Texas. This commitment further deepens Galaxy's investment in the community that is home to its Helios data center campus.

The partnership will fund a full-time CIS Site Coordinator based in Dickens County, expanding the organization’s footprint in the South Plains region. The Coordinator will provide one-on-one support for up to 85 at-risk students each year, and every student in the participating districts will have access to the program's resources, including social-emotional and behavioral support to college and career readiness, financial literacy, and family engagement services.

"Dickens County is more than the site of our Helios data center campus. It's a community we're committed to investing in for the long term. Partnering with Communities In Schools of the South Plains gives these students access to resources that can change the trajectory of their lives. That's exactly the kind of impact we want our presence here to have," said Joel Riedel, Community Relations Manager, Galaxy Data Centers – Helios.

"Our commitment is and always has been to show up for students who need us most. This investment allows us to bring full-time CIS services to Dickens County students," said Kenna West, Chief Executive Officer of Communities In Schools of the South Plains. “We’re grateful that Galaxy quickly recognized the impact that CIS has on our South Plains schools and their commitment to invest directly in students' and families' futures. We are deeply honored to work alongside Dickens County educators and many organizations already invested in this work to make a transformative difference for these kids."

"Galaxy's sponsorship of CIS is much more than a financial contribution: it's an investment in the success and well-being of our students,” said Tanya Phillips, Spur ISD Superintendent. “I have had the privilege of working with Communities In Schools staff at other schools and understand firsthand the difference they can make. Their ability to connect with students, remove barriers to learning and support every part of a school community is remarkable. I'm confident this partnership will be a tremendous benefit and will positively impact countless students and families."

This partnership builds on Galaxy's investment in Dickens County through its Helios data center campus, reflecting the company's commitment to being a long-term partner to the communities where it operates.
