Our School

We are excited to officially share that Marlyn Moreno-Yaquian has been named Thelma Richardson Elementary School’s Teacher of the Year! Marlyn is an exceptional educator who exemplifies hard work, humility, kindness, and unwavering dedication to her students. Her passion and commitment inspire all of us, as she constantly seeks ways to improve and grow.

Ms. Moreno has been a valued member of Thelma Richardson for 9 years. A proud Texas Tech graduate (2016), she transitioned from the medical and church fields into education, driven by her love for working with students. Her family—including her supportive parents from El Salvador, her husband, and three daughters—plays an essential role in her life. 

Ms. Moreno views each day as a new opportunity to learn and grow, and she credits her colleagues and school leaders for their continued support. We are proud to recognize her outstanding contributions and celebrate her dedication to our school community.

Congratulations, Ms. Moreno, on this well-deserved honor!
