Congratulations to Mrs. Stephanie Harbert, Starr Elementary School's 2026-2027 Teacher of the Year! 🐯🍎✨
Mrs. Harbert is the kind of teacher who brings learning to life. Dedicated, passionate, and wonderfully “old-school” in the very best way, she has a spark that reminds you of Ms. Frizzle, turning every lesson into an adventure and every student into an explorer.
An instructional master, Mrs. Harbert takes a deep dive into the world of phonics and literacy, helping students build the foundation they need to grow as confident readers and learners. She consistently goes the extra mile with purpose, heart, and creativity, making sure her students have what they need to succeed. Most importantly, Mrs. Harbert is a fierce advocate for her students, championing their needs and celebrating their progress every step of the way.
Congratulations to Mr. Gerald “Epp” Norman, SES Support Staff of the Year! 🐯✨
Mr. Epp is a valued member of Starr’s facilities team, and his impact can be felt far beyond the work he does each day to keep our school running smoothly. With a smile on his face, a quick joke, and a heart for others, he brings joy, encouragement, and positivity everywhere he goes.
Whether he is supporting students and staff during the school day or showing up for extracurricular events, Mr. Epp is always there to cheer on the Starr family. He has a special way of noticing when someone needs a little encouragement, and his reassuring words—“It’s going to be alright”—have lifted more spirits than he probably knows.
Congratulations to these two fine members of our A3 Team! 👏🎉

One day just isn’t enough to celebrate the heart of Starr Elementary—Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Bryant! 🩷
Their dedication, organization, and constant support keep everything running smoothly each and every day. They are truly essential to our success and go above and beyond for our staff, students, and community.

We are so blessed to have the best Assistant Principal, Dr. Davis, leading alongside us at Starr Elementary! 🐯💛🖤
She is often the face behind the camera lens, capturing all the special moments that make Starr Elementary so special—but her impact goes far beyond what you see. Dr. Davis is the definition of a hard worker, dependable leader, and someone who can juggle it all with grace. More than that, she is a supportive coworker and a friend.
We are beyond grateful for the way she supports our vision of putting students first every single day. Starr Elementary is a better place because of you! 💛
