"Ajay is one of the hardest working students I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. He is extremely intelligent, responsible and dependable. I can always count on him to have his assignments completed by the due dates. He is a very kind, friendly and respectful young man who is well-liked by his peers and teachers. He has always been willing to help with any task asked of him and always with a cheerful attitude. He is not only the epitome of a student, but also of a genuine young man who is a great asset to our school and community. I am deeply honored to have been chosen as STAR teacher by Ajay. My life has definitely been enriched by having such an outstanding young man in my classroom," Spencer said.

"I chose Mrs. Spencer as Star Teacher for several reasons. Of all the staff at Houston High School, she has had the most influence on my life. I had four courses from her in the past two years, including her personal leadership course, which has prepared me emotionally for college. She also directed the senior play and encouraged me to try out for a part. I am very shy, but due to her encouragement, I stepped out of my comfort zone. I had one of the lead roles, and had I not participated, I would have missed out on an experience I will never forget. Not to mention, I became a role model to the elementary students who watched our play," Patel said.

Inspirational author, William Arthur Ward, once said, “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” Thanks to the HHS Anchor Club’s participation in the Pilot Club International signature project, “Pick Me Ups” (PMU), the staff at Houston High School has had several opportunities to “unwrap those presents.”

Local authors, Audrey Virges, Lori Harrington and Jan Dyson, visited Houston High School’s creative writing classes, taught by English teacher, Alisha Spencer. Their purpose was to provide an introduction to the next unit on writing a narrative piece. The authors suggested that students dig deep, use their imagination and be creative for the upcoming project. Ms. Spencer’s class will be working in collaboration with the Chickasaw Heritage Museum, which they visited recently. The students were on the lookout for 12 items from the museum, which they will then research and incorporate into their writing pieces. The aforementioned authors will then judge these stories, and the top three stories will receive prizes.
