Angela Moss is a Special Education teacher at Francis Elementary in Aldine ISD. She is also a graduate from Prairie View A&M University.
"My students inspire me every day to be a better person. It is important for me to show my students that their disabilities don’t define who they are. I enjoy finding new ways for my students to learn. I never want them to feel incapable of learning because they learn differently from others. I hope to continue making positive changes in my students' lives."
