This staff and student group is amazing. I taught for 2 years and my experience was tough. The students were tough. I had some that were amazing gems. I had teachers who were gems. Most of the teachers were glowing examples of amazing glowing, shinining examples of excelence in education. Many of those I worked with ended up in our district. They are the hardest of hardcore reachers of students hearts. They want to reach the youth and make a difference in their community. Here's where it gets personal. In our community. They are able to make that difference. They can use their power to create a genereation in conjuction with parents, to move our society to a more knowledgable and capable generation. I love our diverse group of teachers. This is what the next generation needs. Everyone we have shapes our students. Opening minds is our job. Not funneling herds of new thinkers to an ideology. Exposing them to ideologies for their journy into highschool education is what we do. We do it well. I want to elevate our social studies group in this post. I want to elevate our science group in this post. I want to elevate our STEM groups in this post. Everyone. You are the future of the state of Texas. Be proud.
