In Loving Memory Of Helen Josefa Castillo Ayachi
In loving memory of Helen Josefa Castillo Ayachi (1941–2023), a proud B.O.I. and Ball High School alumna, who dedicated more than 40 years to teaching in the Galveston Independent School District. Her unwavering dedication to education and community upliftment continues to inspire. Her legacy lives on through the Foundation's scholarships, which started out empowering Hispanic/Latino graduates of Ball High School to pursue higher education and give back to their community, and is now available across Galveston County!
