Haiti Outreach Ministries

After a massive earthquake in 2018 HP Pres began partnering with Haiti Outreach Ministries in an effort to rebuild their communities. HOM is a wholistic ministry that helps transform people through church planting, education and medical care. HP members take regular mission trips doing construction and children’s ministry. Through generous giving we were able to be instrumental in the opening of a new high school this year.

International Friendship Partners

Most international students who come to study in the U. S. never have the opportunity to enter an American home. You can break down walls by becoming an IFP Partner and beginning a relationship with an international SMU student. You'll connect with your student every four to six weeks over a cup of coffee, having them over for dinner, attending an IFP event with them, or whatever else fits into your lifestyle.

Troop 80

Troop 80 is a medium-sized, youth-run Scout Troop offering a solid program of basic scout skills, outdoor activities, community service, and friendship building. The troop draws most of its members demographically from the Park Cities and North Dallas.

Troop 82

Troop 82 exists to encourage and teach young men responsibility and duty to God, Country, others, family, and to themselves. We do this by utilizing the 12 Points of the Scout Law which are being trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. As a scout troop, we learn fellowship and scouting skills through our Monday night meetings, monthly camp-outs, and other special events.
