Texas teachers work so hard to deliver a brighter future for the next generation of Texans. Our outstanding teachers shape students' lives, instill in them a love of learning, and prepare them to win the future. It's an honor to help recognize Ms. Lad today. In her brief career, she's already distinguished herself as a remarkably gifted educator. Her students are blessed by her dedication, professionalism, hard work, and many talents. Humanities Texas
