AMARILLO, Texas – Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS) presented a $20,000 check today to students and administrators with the Amarillo Independent School District’s (AISD) robotics program at the Amarillo Area Center for Advanced Learning (AACAL).
“The donation from Pantex will allow students to extend their learning outside the classroom and practice the principles they’ve learned by applying them to real world complex problems. These projects are true engineering feats that build confidence in our students and allows them to continue to grow in their learning,” according to LeAnn Estep, AISD director of Career and Technical Education.
The donation will become a part of the AISD’s Project Lead the WayTM which is a nationally recognized pre-college engineering program offered at AACAL and Caprock High School under the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) endorsement. Pantex is a long-time supporter of STEM education and is dedicated to investing in these programs.
“This provides Pantex an opportunity to encourage the next generation of scientists, engineers and technical professionals. We are pleased to have this opportunity to invest in the Amarillo school district’s efforts to further STEM education,” said Joe Papp, CNS director of Mission Engineering.
“Their gift is a perfect example of how blessed Amarillo ISD is to have such generous corporate partners. The money they have given will be used to advance our robotics program a step further and allow us to double the number of events in which our team will compete,” according to AACAL Principal Jay Barrett.
“Caprock High School is proud to partner with CNS Pantex and graciously accepts the generous donation on behalf of our robotics program. The donation will be used to provide our scholars with the needed funds to showcase their talents at more robotics competitions,” added David Bishop, Caprock High School principal.

CNS answers Food Bank’s request for assistance
CNS presents $10,000 check to Kids Café
AMARILLO, Texas – Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS) presented a $10,000 check today to the High Plains Food Bank to help provide meals to students in the Panhandle area.
Executive Director Zack Wilson recently sent out an urgent request for funding for their Kids Café program. He stated that they have scaled back what they are able to offer to students in their after school programs, and if funding couldn’t be secured, many kids would find themselves without a hot meal.
"Kids Café is an opportunity to not only feed children, many of whom suffer from food insecurity, but also to focus on the importance of healthy ingredients that can still taste good when prepared with care.” shared Wilson. “It’s hard to focus in school when you’re hungry. Kids Café helps alleviate hunger, to ease at least some of the stress kids feel when food is not readily available.”
Representatives from CNS, managing and operating contractor of the U.S. Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration’s Pantex Plant, presented the $10,000 check to the High Plains Food Bank to help in their time of need.
“For decades, Pantexans have supported numerous civic and non-profit organizations that serve our neighbors and the people of the Panhandle. It is in that spirit of giving and helping others that each and every Pantex employee should feel that they are a part of this gift to the High Plains Food Bank and the Kids Café,” said Pantex Deputy Site Manager Todd Ailes.
“Kids Café helps alleviate hunger, to ease at least some of the stress kids feel when food is not readily available. For just $2.00, the Kids Café can provide a hot, nutritious meal to a child. We are very humbled and grateful for this generous donation by CNS,” expressed Wilson. “This tremendous donation will continue to allow us to serve kids in our community, and grow the program to reach even more children.”
