In her own words . . .
“I consider myself a lifelong learner who has been constantly keeping up with changes in the field of education. The eagerness to learn that I perceive from my students gives me the motivation to continue to find ways to help them reach their full potential. My desire has always been to educate my students to lead successful lives through hard work and determination.”
“She is a natural in building relationships with all stakeholders—her students, other students, colleagues, campus leaderships and parents. She is very receptive to feedback and ideas, and learned quickly how to be effective in teaching her students. […] My child soared in her classroom, giving her a head start in school subjects and Spanish language that she is still realizing to this day.”
- Natalie Blasingame, Houston ISD Assistant Superintendent and parent
“Mrs. Herrera’s love and high expectations for her students is what makes her such an amazing educator. She understands the importance of not only being a highly qualified teacher, but a mentor, counselor, tutor and friend. If you have the opportunity to see her at work, whether it is before, during, or after school, you can find her working with groups of kids. Failing is not an option for any child if she has anything to do with it!”
- Kay Kennard, Westwood Elementary Principal
