Maggy Britton
1st Grade
My entire life has revolved around wanting to teach. I earned my BA in Hispanic Studies from Rice University with the intention of improving communication between my future students' families and myself. I then received my Masters in Elementary Education from Vanderbilt University. I may be paying student loans until I die, but I know that I have the best education possible helping me through my teaching career. I have taught for 6 years, and I couldn't imagine a more fulfilling career. From 3rd grade to kindergarten, the love I have for my students is immeasurable. I would do anything for them and am constantly striving to improve myself as a teacher and their learning experience. I am excited to have found a new way to help them!

Katy Rodgers
Kindergarten Teacher
Hello! I am a Kindergarten teacher at Parker Elementary in HoustonISD. This is my fourth year to be teaching and I am a proud alum of Parker Elementary myself. I never grew up thinking I would be a teacher, but once I started student teaching in college, I couldn't stop! Each day is a surprise and keeps me on my toes. Watching the kids grow socially and academically from the beginning of the year until the end makes all the hard times worth it!

Dale Harrison
Technology Teacher
I am a technology teacher at Parker Elementary in Houston, Texas. Education is a passion for me and I've worked as a teacher assistant, high school teacher and now elementary for 10 years now. After working as a substitute teacher I felt the pull to become a teacher because I loved working with kids and also because I felt there was a need for more male teachers in education. I've experienced so much through the years and the bonds formed have been beneficial not only for my former students but for myself as well. My goal is to just expose my students to the opportunities that awaits them and show them that they have someone in their corner.
Linda Mindingall Payne
First grade teacher
As a first grade teacher I managed to extend into my first love which is ART. I integrate all areas of the curriculum which MUST include art and cooking and WOW seeing creativity come to life in a child's eyes and their smiles is priceless.
