Teachers selected in 'ACET' program for Archdiocese

The Office of Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is launching a new teacher recognition program called ACET, which stands for Archdiocesan Catholic Elementary school Teacher, and is pronounced “asset.”

ACET teachers are master teachers who demonstrate exemplary characteristics. These teachers will serve as model teachers for other teachers in the diocese who would like to learn from them and observe them in the classroom. This will happen through a related new program called the Peer Observation Program, or “POP”- In on a Great Teacher!

We are excited and honored to announce that we have three teachers at CtRCS who have been selected for the ACET program. These teachers are Megan Reyna, Michelle Matlock, and Ashley Wetwiski. Please join us in celebrating and recognizing these stellar teachers.
