Department of Education honors students, alumni at annual Celebrate Education event

May 21, 2025

麻豆原创鈥檚 Henney Department of Education hosted its annual Celebrate Education event on Tuesday, April 29.

The event welcomes incoming first-year students to the program and honors current students and alumni with a variety of awards.

Each year, faculty and staff select students for the program鈥檚 Spartan Award, given to students who don鈥檛 seek the spotlight, but whose work, perseverance and attitude stand out and make a difference, reflecting the Spartan spirit.

This year鈥檚 recipients were Ernesto Rangel, Kolton Ploughe, Taelynn Benish, Garrett Lewis and Carmen Reno.

The program also selected four students as the Henney Scholars鈥攑articipants in a competitive program that requires an application and commitment to an important issue in education. The group will spend three days in Columbus, Ohio, studying progressive education, and they will submit a proposal to present at a conference in October.

The 2025 Henney Scholars are Kendall Hill, Addie Haynes, Andrew Morrison and Ryan Fox.

Three alumni of the program were honored for their work in the education field: Janel Horvath as the Alumni Teacher of the Year, Becca Colbert as the Alumni Educational Studies Professional of the Year, and Patty Good for the Henney Department of Education Legacy Award.
