Honoring trailblazing Houston Educator Ollie Mae Byrd for Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month, we're celebrating the legacy of Ollie Mae Byrd, a trailblazing educator in Houston. Byrd taught in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD for 30 years before retiring in 1987. Last year, the district paid tribute to her impact by dedicating an elementary school in her name.
