"She stood out in my AP Physics 1 class not only for her exceptional academic performance but also for her meticulous problem-solving and unwavering dedication."

Isabel fondly reflects on her time at Klein Collins and within the Klein ISD school district, especially regarding the special memories and impact her elementary school teacher, Ms. Foley, had on her.

"From my time at Klein ISD, one teacher truly impacted my education and shaped me into who I am today. Ms. Foley, my 3rd and 5th grade math teacher, was always the highlight of my day," Isabel said. "She did so much for me, from teaching me math basics, preparing me for my first STAAR test, and countless other timeless memories. I still remember the review games, the bouncy ball prizes, and her enthusiastic approach to teaching daily. With the handmade Christmas ornaments, the Valentine's chocolate bunny, and the notebooks that still stay in my room, Ms. Foley was, and always will be, a teacher who holds a special place in my heart."
