Two Klein ISD teachers were surprised by the KHOU Channel 11 Surprise Squad’s Darby Douglas and Chita Johnson when they were named recipients of the Elizabeth Brand Teacher Excellence Award by the Houston Association of Professional Landmen. The organization teamed up with the Surprise Squad to make the announcements.

Hassler Elementary’s Natalie Gibson and Klein Intermediate’s Kerry Boost were both taken by surprise when they received the news. They are two of only five Houston area teachers to receive this honor.

The Elizabeth Brand Teacher Excellence Award is presented in memory of former Spring Branch ISD teacher Elizabeth Brand. The annual award, initiated by Brand’s Husband, honors teachers who display outstanding performance and all-around personal development.

Congratulations to these teachers!
