Baylor honors former Teague resident as ‘Outstanding Mentor’

Waco kindergarten teacher Cathy Henson received the Centennial Outstanding Mentor Award during the SOE’s Senior Banquet earlier this year.

A native of Teague, Henson received her Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Baylor in 1973. She has taught school for 34 years — in Burleson, Marlin and Waco — and now teaches kindergarten at Parkdale Elementary School in Waco ISD, where she has been since 2005

The Centennial SOE Outstanding Mentor honor is being awarded in conjunction with the SOE’s year-long Centennial anniversary celebration. Henson was chosen from among a field of educators nominated by current and former SOE students, faculty, staff and partners. Alexandria Knight, Henson’s student teaching intern this year, nominated her mentor along with three of Henson’s former interns: Landreigh Knapp, Baylor School of Education 2018; Carmen Gutierrez Rodarte, BSEd 2016;  and Lauren Ancell, BSEd 2017.
