Kelly Windham is in her fifth year of teaching English, Yearbook, Journalism, Creative Writing and College and Career Readiness at Legacy Early College High School.
While most of her sixteen years in education has been in a traditional classroom setting, part of that time has been in non-traditional roles that centered around education such as Peace Corps, Rice University Civic Leadership, and Community-Based Entrepreneurship.
Windham was inspired to become a teacher after learning from educators at Thrall High School and Texas A&M University about the power of words.
“It’s that inspiration that guides my practice,” said Windham. “Before students leave my room every day, I remind them that the world needs their voice. I have the honor of helping them find it and use it with confidence, civility, empathy, and kindness.
