Classes for Seniors
Harris County Precinct Three Commissioner Steve Radack’s renowned Senior Education Program is now in two locations – the Jim & JoAnn Fonteno Senior Education Center, 6600 Bissonnet, and the Thomas A. Glazier Senior Education Center, 16600 Pine Forest Lane.

A wide variety of classes for seniors are offered at both locations. The classes are meant to engage seniors and enliven their lives. They are meant to entertain, spark curiosity and keep seniors mentally sharp and involved in the community.

In some cases, they are taught by Precinct Three staff. In other cases, our cadre of trained volunteers will step to the head of the classroom. And, to save taxpayers money, some classes are taught by outside experts from the public and private sector who are volunteering their time and expertise.
