Stephanie’s impact on Bryant Public Schools continues to inspire others through this meaningful scholarship. A dedicated special education paraprofessional from 2016-2024 and later a special education teacher at Hill Farm Elementary, Stephanie loved her students deeply and brought positivity, compassion and encouragement to everyone around her. She exemplified the heart of an educator and left a lasting impact on her students, colleagues and school family.
Stephanie’s sister, Kelly Howard, presented the $500 scholarship, which was matched by the family. Several family members were also in attendance to honor Stephanie’s memory and continue her legacy of supporting fellow educators.
Ms. Harris, who worked alongside Stephanie for many years at Hill Farm, has served students at HFES for nine years. We are proud to see Stephanie’s legacy continue to uplift and inspire future special educators.
