Leander High School senior Jordyn Farrar, recognizing Penelope Feliciano: “Mrs. Feliciano is one of the many amazing teachers that I have had the opportunity to be taught by throughout my education. Not only have I learned an abundance of information from Mrs. Feliciano in the classroom, I have gained so much knowledge from observing her character and actions. Mrs. Feliciano is caring, intentional, mindful and most importantly she serves her students with a gracious heart. She is constantly reminding us to take time out of our days to be mindful of our actions and how they affect those around us. She spends countless hours of her time preparing thoughtful lessons for our classes, attending her students’ extracurricular events and being a present role model for us. I am overjoyed to be able to recognize her hard work and devotion, to not only me, but all of her students. Mrs. Feliciano has given me the insight to enjoy the present, prepare for my future and love people genuinely!”
Leander High School senior Lidia Kivil, recognizing Kasandra Diomande: “Mrs. Diomande is always there for myself and her other students. She is willing to stay after school with me to help me out after class; she is willing to listen to my personal problems, or about my life, while also telling me a little bit about herself; and she is very gracious about helping me to do makeup work. Mrs. Diomande is very patient, and it means a lot that she tries to understand my personal life and how it affects my school work or my ability to do school work.”
