College Station Middle School U.S. History teacher Chris Ribardo was named the College Station ISD Secondary Teacher of the Year, and Elizabeth Simpson, a kindergarten teacher at Greens Prairie Elementary, was named the district’s Elementary Teacher of the Year at the annual employee awards ceremony held virtually this evening.
In addition, A&M Consolidated Middle School adapted behavior paraprofessional Alyssa Kubichek was named CSISD Paraprofessional of the Year, while Ross Satterwhite, campus computer technician from College Station High School, and Debra Johnson, head dispatcher from the transportation department, were named the district’s Co-Auxiliary Employee of the Year.





The district teacher of the year winners will have an opportunity to advance through the Region 6 Education Service Center as part of the selection process for the 2021 Texas Teacher of the Year.
State winners serve as traveling ambassadors for public education with a demanding schedule of speeches, workshops, and presentations - all while continuing to teach in the classroom. It is indeed an honor to be chosen by one’s colleagues, peers, and campus as Teacher of the Year.
In addition to recognizing employees from each campus, the district honored several retirees.
