The annual SPE-GCS Awards Banquet recognizes high school seniors, college students, Communities in Schools – Houston, and SPE auxiliary scholarships for the 2023-2024 academic year.

In addition, this event also recognizes our Legion of Honor award recipients, SPE Gulf Coast Section award winners, and Gulf Coast North America Region awardees. Members of the Legion of Honor have served SPE for fifty years and will be honored for their long-standing commitment to our professional society. As the SPE-GCS
