Meet the Teachers

Edna Obie  My name is Edna Obie, a teacher in the district for the past nineteen years. I am currently assigned the position of Special Education Department Chairperson and / Resource Teacher. As a Department Chairperson, I work under the leadership of a building principal to perform duties / functions which will enhance the education of the students with disabilities. As a Resource Teacher, I teach Reading, Language and Mathematics to those students who meet the qualifying guidelines set by TEA for Learning Disability or any other handicapping conditions. As an educator, I strive to see an Angel in every child; bearing in mind that a child today may become the leader of tomorrow.

Selena Russell 2006-07 marks my 29th year as an educator.  I am a Special Education Resource Math/Language Arts  Teacher.  My duty is to address the individual needs of 4th and 5th grade students identified as having a learning disability.  "Too often we see only the obvious  and miss plenty", is one of my most motivating quotes.  It constantly reminds me of the endless contributions my group of students will some day make, inspite of their disability.  Dr. Red Duke, Albert Einstein, Babyface, Walt Disney, Danny Glover, Mozart and Billy Graham are only a few of the famous people labeled as disabled, yet rose above all odds and accomplished much!  My philosophy of education is... Provided the appropriate setting, staff and resources, ALL children can learn.
