School is Cool

Next date: Thursday, August 05, 2027 | 04:30 PM to 07:00 PM

The 13th Annual #SchoolisCool event was held in person at the W.T. Brookshire Conference Center and Rose Garden Center on Thursday, August 6, 2026. Thanks to the continued partnership among the City of Tyler, the Tyler Area Business Education Council, and TISD, we distributed nearly 2,000 backpacks to school-aged children. This event wouldn’t be possible without the generous donations from local sponsors and the enthusiastic volunteers.

For more information, contact the Tyler Area Business Education Council.
