“Two years ago, I had a student transfer from another Klein elementary school to Theiss for our Behavioral Academic Support Education (BASE) program. He was in my first-grade homeroom, but spent a great deal of time back and forth in BASE. He was only with us from December to April of his first grade year. Just last month, while walking into my son’s Martial Arts school, I saw a familiar face walking out. He stopped, turned around, and momentarily looked me straight in the face. “I remember you! You were my teacher!” he exclaimed. I recognized him right away and greeted him by name. He hugged me and said, “I’m in third grade now! I’m doing good, too! Are you proud of me?” I told him, of course I was, and now I am so happy to get to see him every week at Martial Arts!” Rachel said.
To Rachel, a teacher's most lasting impact is making students feel understood, appreciated, and safe.
“Most people can remember one teacher who made a difference for them,” Rachel said. “Teachers can shape how students feel about school and learning for the rest of their lives. Every day is a chance to give kids a fresh start, guide them to success, and help them grow.”
Rachel Stevens doesn’t just teach—she transforms lives with every kind word, every encouraging smile, and every extra moment she gives to help a child feel valued. Rachel’s legacy grows—not just in test scores, but in the hearts of the students who will never forget how she made them feel seen, supported, and exceptional.
