Three Lubbock-Area Teachers Named Teachers On The Rise

The United Family and Mrs Baird's Bread named three Lubbock-area teachers as September winners of the 16th annual Teachers On The Rise program, honoring Maribel Ojeda, Kirston Deshazo and Lindsey Pierson.

Ojeda teaches at Miller Elementary School and Deshazo at McCool Academy, both in Lubbock ISD. Pierson teaches at Frenship Memorial High School in Frenship ISD. Students and families across the South Plains have sent in nominations since the program launched in August.

Program director Shane Sumrow said nominations are on pace to set a record this school year. He said reading the daily nominations from students, parents and family members is "such an honor." Abie Rampy, director of public relations for The United Family, called the program "one of our favorite ways to celebrate the heart of our communities."

Winning teachers receive a $100 United Supermarkets gift card, lunch for two at the Texas Tech Club and a gift box of Mrs Baird's products. Students who nominate a winning teacher get a $50 American Express gift card. Atmos Energy and Texas Tech Club also sponsor the program. To nominate a teacher, visit www.TeachersOnTheRise.com. Monthly winners also appear on Instagram at @LUBBTOTR and Facebook at @LubbockTeachersOnTheRise.
