Had a beautiful experience with my DLVHS Leadership students at our farewell dinner tonight 🙏🏽 Can’t wait to share more photos. These students taught me so much this semester, had to celebrate them! Grateful, my cup is full 🫶🏽

How we want it to be and How it really is

Some of the best leaders in education are still called teacher. Never underestimate the experience, expertise, and value they bring to your school.

This month, thousands of students will walk the stage across the state of Texas. We want to congratulate the class of 2025 on all their hard work and dedication, and for taking the next steps toward their bright futures! #txed #Classof2025 #TexasGraduates #Seniors2025

We hope you are having a restful extended weekend. Tomorrow is Memorial Day, when we honor our fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Remember these individuals and their families as you go about your day. Thank you! 🇺🇸 #WeR19 #MemorialDay

We broke bread, we laughed & bonded. We lifted each other up in praise, & even passed out 🌹& compliments to random customers. Sophie volunteered to lead us in prayer before we ate 🙏🏽 Our connection was def strengthened! Incredibly grateful for this group & beyond proud of them!

Its not just their brain that students bring to class. It's their struggles, passions, needs, hopes, fears, dreams, etc. And there's 30 or more of them. Teaching may be the toughest job there is.

Between the 2008–09 and 2018–19 academic years, the number of students completing traditional teacher education programs in the U.S. dropped by more than one-third! Why? Because the workload teachers face is no longer matched by the pay, respect, or value they deserve.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. #UTSA #MemorialDay

Our DVHS Eng I & II Teams could not wait to TACO bout 26-27 planning! 💙🩶🌮 #ExcellencebyDesign #ConquerEveryChallenge #OFOD MicheleGarcia Vianney Garcia Anna Ramirez Valerie Hairston

DVHS brought the fiesta! From the laughter to the learning (and yes, even the piñata and tacos), the day was a true reminder that when we plan together, we grow together! 25-26 here come the Conquistadors! 🌮🪅LizetteRocha Valerie Hairston

To every teacher as you wrap up the year and recharge for next year. This is for you... You deserve more. More pay. More respect. More recognition. You should be treated like the professionals you are—because that’s exactly what you are. And yet, even when the system falls

Thank you, Ms. Garcia, for being such an instrumental part of our professional learning team and supporting our collaborative practices! 🤍
