Leander High School senior Connor Hoglund, recognizing Elizabeth Garcia: "Ms. Garcia has had a huge impact on my life, teaching me both a great deal about the Spanish language and culture, and more so by instilling in me a good work ethic and character. She notably takes great feeling and pride from helping her students; which likely contributes to her amazing attitude towards teaching, learning, and helping others. She will always have a big smile on her face, be it when educating or conversing, and I am convinced if more students had a teacher like Ms. Garcia in their academic lives, school would be a much healthier and happier learning environment."
Leander High School senior Katie Doil, recognizing Shelby Kenyon: "Mrs. Kenyon has greatly influenced my life by starting me off on my Interior Design career. She always gives me feedback on how to improve my work and become more professional. She has taught me to go from a casual high school student to a formal, young business woman. She has been there for me and given me excellent advice in academic, personal, and business situations. She has taken me under her wing."
