Taylor Instructor Recognized by Rice University
Taylor Career and Technology Center instructor Sheryl George was acknowledged by Rice University in the College Football Playoff Foundation Extra Yard for Teachers initiative. Nominated by SkillsUSA District 7 Director Bart Taylor, she was invited to the Rice vs. UTEP football game on November 3 at Rice Stadium where she had the opportunity to represent her campus and be recognized on-field for all her hard work and dedication.
George has been teaching the Cosmetology II class at Taylor for over 12 years. “What I enjoy most about my job is the joy students express when they pass the state board examination,” she said. “At that moment, they realize that all their hard work and studying paid off. Knowing that they have accomplished their goal and are ready for the industry of cosmetology is priceless!”
Rice University and NCAA Conference USA partnered for this initiative with their C-USA corporate partner Michaels, who is providing classroom resources to teachers through store gift cards.
