Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery
The LSC-Montgomery art gallery was recenlty named to honor the tremendous efforts of Mary Matteson-Parrish on May 9. Matteson-Parrish’s commitment to improving access and enhancing the educational opportunities for citizens led to the growth of the college district boundaries to encompass from six to 11 independent school districts, and the expansion of services and facilities from three campuses to five comprehensive colleges: Lone Star College-North Harris, Lone Star College-Kingwood, Lone Star College–Tomball, Lone Star College–Montgomery and Lone Star College–CyFair.
Mary’s commitment to improving access and seamless systems for all citizens led to the establishment of seven satellite centers including the Carver Center located in Acres Homes and The University Center, a multi-institutional university teaching facility; and expanded outreach to students at all levels through partnerships with local school districts, universities, business and industry, chambers of commerce and other community and economic development organizations.
She has participated in and provided leadership and support for many civic, business, political and community development groups, including initiatives associated with the arts.
Mary was formerly the director of custom home sales for The Woodlands Development Company, and is a “pioneer” resident of The Woodlands. Her family was one of the first 25 families to move to The Woodlands in 1974. She is married to Norman Parrish.
