We’re proud to celebrate Starr Elementary's 2025–2026 Teacher and Support Staff of the Year! 🎉 🍎 Mrs. Stephanie Eubanks is Starr’s Teacher of the Year!

She truly is a SuperSTARR in every way! 💛📚 🧡 Mrs. Kelly Brown is Starr’s Support Staff of the Year! A dedicated paraprofessional in a special education classroom, Mrs. Brown is always willing to go above and beyond—whether it’s helping in other classrooms, stepping into duty stations, or lending a hand wherever it’s needed. Her commitment to students and staff makes her a true RockSTARR! ⭐🙌 Help us cheer on these amazing women who shine bright for Starr Elementary every day!
