Dec. 15, 2025—Representatives from Chick-fil-A FM 1960 & Eldridge visited staff members at Cy-Fair High School and Danish Elementary School on Dec. 1 and 9, respectively, to officially announce their Adopt-a-School partnerships with the campuses.

CFISD’s Adopt-a-School program pairs schools with community organizations and business partners to utilize community resources to strengthen and enrich the quality of education for students.

Colleen Pamphile, Chick-fil-A owner/operator, expressed her inspiration for adopting Cy-Fair and Danish.

“What teachers do every day with their students is so important, and we are proud just be a part of that journey in whatever small way we can,” Pamphile said. “It’s nice to know that we can start from right now and plant the seed and later on, the impact will show up in so many other different ways. We’re thankful to these schools for welcoming us and for allowing us to partner with them in such a great and impactful way for our community.”

Dirk Heath, principal at Cy-Fair, shared his excitement for the school’s new partnership with Chick-fil-A.

“This partnership really is going to make things more accessible. During a time when teachers get tired, we could reach out to Chick-fil-A and get some support for our staff,” said Heath. “It’s truly a win-win. Happy teachers, happy students!”

Kelly Dalton, principal at Danish, shared her gratitude for Chick-fil-A adopting the campus.

“It's a very natural partnership, and we're so appreciative to Dawn and her team and to Chick-Fil-A for officially partnering with us,” said Dalton. “We feel like we’ve been partners for a long time already, but we’re excited to have an official partnership to continue to grow that community.”
