Harris County - Precinct Three Commissioner Steve Radack

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.

Below is a list of classes currently offered. Please be aware this list is subject to change without notice because of scheduling conflicts, availability of instructors and student interest. Each class varies in length and the time commitment needed to complete. Some have prerequisites. Please contact each of the centers to discuss your interest and details about what is offered in each class.

All classes are free to Harris County residents 55 and older.
