It’s a culture that fully encompasses our values and aligns with your goals.
Early Learning Program
Every year, Seitel helps young students at Panda Path School experience the joy of reading and storytelling by presenting The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss as a fun and spirited play, and gifting each child with their very own Dr. Seuss book. During the holidays, Seitel Santa and his elves purchase gifts and delivers them to the children at the school.

Walking with our community
Seitel was instrumental in establishing a relationship between Spring Branch ISD and Big Brothers/Big Sisters, bringing the mentoring expertise of BBBS into the SBISD system. This resulted in Seitel employees establishing mentoring relationships with SBISD middle school kids during the 2019/2020 school year. While the mentoring program has been halted by covid, Seitel looks forward to re-establishing this vital community program for the 2021/2022 school year.
