The honor was awarded to Ms. Griffin at our last faculty meeting, October 8. Humanities Texas was represented by Melissa Huber, Director of Exhibitions & Public Programs and Eric Lupfer, Director of Grants & Education. Congressman John Carter officially presented the award to Ms. Griffin. Ms. Griffin's proud parents, Janet and Allan Griffin came from Houston to be with Ms. Griffin for the award presentation. Ms. Griffin's parents were both in the field of education for many years, so she may have inherited her passion for education from them. She has of course added her own spin on things by working extremely hard, building strong relationships, and by continually searching for what's best for her students.
