May 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Westway Ford and its General Manager, Barton Hankins, strongly believe in community involvement and giving back to the local schools in Irving and Las Colinas. Hankins’ dedication to his local community recently inspired him to donate a new 2011 Ford Escape to the Father at The Highlands School. Father Daniel Ray was tremendously excited to receive this generous gift! http://www.westwayford.com/index.htm

The 2011 Ford Escape is an upscale crossover SUV that boasts terrific performance and great safety scores. The Escape also has a comfortably designed, spacious interior and convenient high-tech features. Hankins believes that this vehicle will be an excellent mode of transportation for Father Daniel in both his day-to-day and school-related activities.

The Highlands is a private Catholic school centrally located in beautiful Las Colinas. Its students benefit from one-on-one mentoring, active involvement in outreach programs, virtue education, and participation in specialized leadership programs. The Highlands School is dedicated to giving each of its students a strong academic foundation that will help them thrive as future community leaders. With an emphasis on leadership development, outreach, and college preparation the school strives to mold their students into responsible individuals with solid Christian values.

Making a difference at The Highlands School holds considerable personal importance to Hankins as his daughter has attended the school for four years. As such, Hankins also recently became a member of the policy-making Board of Trustees at the school. In this role, Hankins hopes to further build upon the school’s progressive, achievement-focused educational structure.

Along with being the General Manager at Westway Ford and a school Board of Trustees member, Hankins is also a supporter of the Irving ISD and a member of the Chamber of Commerce. His dealership serves the Dallas Fort Worth and Las Colinas areas, and offers one of the best selections of new and used Ford cars, trucks, and SUVs in the state of Texas. http://www.westwayford.com/index.htm
