The College Station ISD Board of Trustees approved Amy Heye as the new director of the College Station ISD Education Foundation during its regular meeting on May 19. Heye replaces Teresa Benden, who is retiring in June after serving nearly 17 years as director.

Heye has served the College Station ISD Education Foundation for the past 13 years, beginning in December 2012 as the Foundation’s administrative assistant and CSISD front desk receptionist. Most recently, she served as office manager for the Foundation.

During her time with the Foundation, Heye has strengthened relationships with donors, board members and community partners while helping lead major fundraising and recognition events, including 50 Men Who Can Cook, the Scholarship Ceremony, the Hall of Fame Banquet and Grant Patrol. She has also overseen donor and financial systems, managed grant and scholarship processes, and supported employee giving campaigns and district engagement efforts.

“Amy’s passion for College Station ISD and the Education Foundation has been evident throughout her 13 years of service,” said Dr. Tim Harkrider, superintendent of schools. “Her experience, relationships and commitment to supporting students and staff make her the right person to continue building on the Foundation’s strong legacy.”

One of the milestones Heye said she is most proud of was helping the Foundation surpass $3 million in total grants awarded to CSISD teachers during the 2025-26 school year.

Heye is a graduate of Texas A&M University, where she earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in marketing. She was also recognized as the CSISD Central Office Paraprofessional of the Year in 2017.

“I am honored to have been selected as the new director of the College Station ISD Education Foundation,” Heye said. “As a proud graduate of College Station ISD and a longtime member of the Foundation team for the past 13 years, I am deeply committed to supporting programs that make a meaningful difference for our students, staff and schools. I look forward to continuing the tradition of excellence Teresa Benden has created while growing the Foundation’s impact across our district.”
