Kato's Corner
A welcoming space in the Counseling Office where any Northside student can pick up what they need, from school supplies to snacks to hygiene products. No questions asked.
Give to Kato's CornerKato's Corner is named in honor of Mrs. Erin Kato, a beloved member of the Northside College Prep Counseling Department who had an extraordinary gift for caring for students. Whether someone needed school supplies, a listening ear, or quiet encouragement, Erin always seemed to know what was needed, even before they did.
To carry her legacy of kindness forward, the Counseling Department created Kato's Corner, a space where students can access everyday essentials with dignity and without hesitation. What began as a small collection of school supplies has grown to include personal hygiene products, clothing, snacks, and other necessities for both school and home.
Any student who needs supplies or basic necessities is encouraged to stop by the counseling office and take what they need. No questions asked.
