March 9, 2023

Recently, University of Arizona College of Education Alum and Flowing Wells Unified School District teacher, Sarai Martinez Tijerina was recognized on the International Literacy Association’s 2023 30 Under 30 List.

“I know there are students who need me to be the one teacher for them and that’s why I’m a teacher,” Tijerina said, who was featured in Local Today.

Last year, Tijerina also received the Chicanos por la Causa’s 2022 Esperanza Latino Teacher Award.

Congratulations, Sarai!
