Woodridge 5th grader teacher Eve Thompson is the 2024-25 EXCEL Award winner for Alamo Heights ISD.
Thompson was surprised in her classroom and presented with the apple trophy and $2,000 check. She has been at Woodridge for 10 years and previously taught for 9 years in the Houston area. She is the fifth grade team leader and teaches English/Language Arts.
“Evie has a heart for Woodridge, Alamo Heights ISD, and every student that walks through her door,” said Principal Sean Reno. “She leads with love and it is evident in the team she works with and when you step in her classroom. She is a blessing to this campus and this district.”
The EXCEL Award is sponsored by KENS 5 and Credit Human and representatives from both organizations came to celebrate Thompson along with her Principal Sean Reno, her fifth grade team of teachers, and AHISD Assistant Superintendent Dr. Frank Alfaro.
