We are thrilled to share some incredible news with our school community! Our very own Mrs. Sarr has been officially selected as the SHABE (Suburban Houston Association for Bilingual Education) Secondary ESL Teacher of the Year.
This prestigious award is a massive milestone. SHABE is a premier organization dedicated to promoting bilingual, biliterate, and multicultural education. To be recognized by them at the district level is a true testament to Mrs. Sarr’s unwavering commitment to our students’ academic and personal growth.
A Heart for Our Students
Mrs. Sarr doesn’t just teach a curriculum; she champions a culture of belonging. Her classroom is a space where bilingualism is celebrated as a superpower rather than a hurdle. We are incredibly blessed to have her expertise and passion on our campus every day.
In Her Own Words
When asked about the honor, Mrs. Sarr shared a powerful reflection on what drives her work:
“Being recognized by SHABE is deeply humbling because it reflects not only my work, but the journeys of my students and the educators who supported me along the way. My experiences as an immigrant and English language learner continue to guide my teaching, reminding me daily that education is most powerful when it is rooted in empathy, justice, and belief.
My commitment to bilingual education is personal, professional, and enduring. As long as there are students who doubt their worth because of the language they speak, I will continue to teach, advocate, and lead with the understanding that multilingualism is not a barrier to success—it is a bridge.”
Join Us in Congratulating Her!
We couldn’t be prouder to see Mrs. Sarr recognized on such a grand stage. Her leadership is a “bridge” for so many of our students, helping them navigate their education with confidence and pride in their heritage.
Please join us in giving a huge Congratulations to Mrs. Sarr for this well-deserved honor!
