We are thrilled to announce that Janelle Thomas of Homer Davis Elementary has been named a Legendary Teacher!
Inspired by the strength of the saguaro cactus, Janelle believes that students—like saguaros—thrive when grounded in safety, connection, and care. She builds powerful relationships with students and families, advocates fiercely for their needs, and empowers them to grow both academically and emotionally.
Beyond her classroom, she serves as PTO liaison, Teacher Assistance Team member, and intervention tutor for at-risk students, strengthening the entire Homer Davis community.
Janelle Thomas stands tall with resilience, heart, and hope—truly a legendary educator.
