Dr. Christopher Khoury - Co-Founder & President

For over two decades, Dr. Christopher Khoury has devoted his career to advancing academic programs, supporting students with disabilities, and creating inclusive opportunities for youth to thrive. His public education career began in 2004 where he coached and taught special education in high school.

Beyond his professional roles, he serves the community as a dedicated volunteer with Dallas Children’s Charities, supporting fundraising and programs for at-risk youth in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Family is the heart of his life’s work. He is the proud father of Catherine Abbigail (19), a student at Texas A&M University, and Audrey Emilynn-Grace (13), an eighth-grader and competitive volleyball player with Texas Advantage Volleyball Club. Their ambition, resilience, and character inspire his vision for a future where no young person is left on the sidelines.

Currently, Dr. Khoury is authoring his memoir, Keep Pushing Forward (expected late 2025), a candid and unfiltered account of overcoming an undiagnosed learning disability. The book challenges readers to rethink what capability and resilience truly mean, while offering educators, parents, and caregivers actionable strategies to recognize and nurture hidden potential.
