What can I say about my big sister, ever since I can remember she has always been teaching me lol. I have watched her coach, mentor, and pour into her students and athletes. This is well deserved and I’m so proud of what she has done throughout her career. She still has kids that walks up to her and thanks her for making changes in their life. Well deserved nomination.

Just where do I begin…..I met Delina affectionately known as Coach Clark back in August of 2011. We have been great friends since then. I’m elated to call her a Sister/Bestfriend. She has a heart a gold and an infectious smile that will light up a room. She embodies what ever she puts her mind to do and excels pass the standard. If I had to describe her with one word it would be HUMBLE!!! She’s always thinking of others and sitting self to the side to assist. Educating our youth has been a passion of hers since I’ve known her and she has proven that we need more educators like her in the system. I’m honored to know Coach K personally and I’m proud of her accomplishments and recent title of T.O.Y!!! I love you Coach K….keep up the excellent work and watch God continue to show out in your life!!!

You have undoubtedly made the perfect decision when nominating Coach Clark! She consistently demonstrates passion and commitment to her work. She shows unmatched concern for her kids and genuinely improves their lives. Nothing is more important than giving kids a sense of love, security, and appreciation while they are at school, and Coach Clark delivers on that promise. Personally, I've witnessed her go above and beyond to protect the safety of her pupils both inside and outside of the classroom. She does it simply and without hesitation when it comes to going the additional mile. Nothing more could be asked of a teacher of the sixth grade. She is an illustration!

I can’t say enough about Coach Clark. She is one that shows passion and dedication in her work daily. She cares for her students like no other and truly makes a difference in their lives. Nothing is more important than children feeling loved, safe, and appreciated while at school and Coach Clark does just that. Personally, I’ve seen her go the extra mile to ensure her students’ well being both inside and outside of school. When it comes to going the extra mile, she does it effortlessly without any hesitation. There’s nothing more that you could ask for in a 6th grade teacher. She is the example!

Ms. Clark is an outstanding teacher and I have really enjoyed working with her this year. Clark does and amazing job of supporting and encouraging her students while also holding them accountable and teaching them important life lessons. I have learned a lot watching her interact with students and I hope to someday be as good an educator as she is.

Coach Clark is an exceptional smart, kind,loving,caring human being. I personaly think she sould be dominated for life changer of the year because she has changed so many lives in the span of a few months, she has changed the lifes of her student, work partners, she has gone as helping her community by helping people with their addictions, She has also changed the lives of her whole school those are just some of the examples of why she sould be dominated for life changer of the year.

Ms.clark has been the thoughest teacher i have ever met and i appreciate that about her,she has inspired me to move foward even in my hardest times she thought me how to make life easier for myself.She has also helped me understand how the ILtexas schools worked she thought me how to be a independent person.Although she might have days were she cant take anymore stress yet she still manages to make it to school to teach us what we need to know to succeed in our life.She might seem tough but she is the wisest person i have ever met she always finds a way to make someones day just by making a joke she can brighten someones day. she honestly deserves this award.

Ms. Clark is the best reading teacher that ever had. She had been a positive example for me but she was realy strict about are safety and about her job. But I really enjoyed being in her class because she really motivated to realize the out side world is not as bad after all. And that is is one reason that she deserved being teacher of the year. Ms Clark is a teacher that I really will never forget. I do not know what I will do with out Ms.Clark.Even if she does not win she always be In a place in my heart.

I am very grateful to Coach Clark because she has helped me a lot with my problems and she has also made me believe more in my drawings and whenever I draw something for her she is very happy. She has helped me with my reading and to see that nothing is impossible if you want to achieve it and she has also taught me that whenever you set your mind to something you can achieve it and that you never give up. My life has been easier since I met her and she is an excellent teacher and she is also like a friend when you need her she is like a person who would never leave you alone and she will do everything she can to help you. THANK YOU COACH CLARK FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!

Coach Clark is the perfect for this position.

No one will ever replace her never. We love you coach Clark THANK YOU for everything and CONGRATS.

She definitely deserves this! Im so proud of her and I hope she continues to be the best! She has pushed through all the obstacles when she has stress and pain. I love her enthusiasm and how she continues to help us grow. She will be changing the lives of 5th graders into future 7th graders :) As i move on grade to grade I hope she continues to be the same!

Coach Clark has and will forever have a very special place in my heart. You are a great teacher but you look above and beyond teaching. You taught me something VERY IMPORTANT. It was to LOVE my autistic brother and to be PROUD of him instead of hiding it. When I came to BG RAMIREZ I was shy and did not want anyone to know about him but Coach talked to me about it and she made me think differently in a more positive way. She taught me more than she is expected to. Coach thank you for this huge favor you've done for me I DON'T THINK NO ONE ELSE WOULD TEACH ME THAT. Thank you again because you deserve this and MORE.

Yolaniy L. Posted 4 months ago

Tempist Pickard Posted 5 months ago

To whoever nominated THANK YOU. I couldn’t have said it any better as Coach Clark’s former athlete/ goddaughter. From the moment I met coach Clark it was nothing but a positive impact on my life. As a freshman in high school she immediately took me under her wing and supported me in every way possible. While achieving athletics and academically she never allowed me to slack in either department. Fast forward to junior year I lost my biological mother and she NEVER once hesitated to be the motherly support I needed at that time. She later revealed that she too had lost her mother at an early age and that while obstacles may come at us to never give up and “grind even more”. This is someone who would literally put her heart and soul pouring into the youth of our future and making sure they are not limited to the opportunities of the world. I wholeheartedly believe she is beyond deserving of this award. Even if she doesn’t win she definitely will be satisfied of winning her students hearts and seeing them achieve beyond their wildest expectations.
