Established in 2017.The Houston Agape Alliance was formed by four high school students who attend The Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart. It was formed to mirror one of Duchesne's five goals, "which is social awareness that impels to action". Our non-profit gives students from underfunded inner city schools advantages enjoyed by schools with a higher level of funding.
