Saquib+Ahmed

Hi everyone! My name is Saquib Ahmed, and I was born in the small country of Bangladesh. I came to the United States when I was 15 years old. I am a product of HISD. I went to Lanier Middle School and Lamar High School. I had a lot of interests growing up, but I found my calling at the University of Houston. While I was working on my Masters degree in Marketing Education, I substituted at local schools. While substituting one day, one of my students approached me, gave me a huge smile, and told me that I was "the best teacher ever." I loved teaching and knew that this was the right career path for me. I began my teaching career at Anderson Elementary School. I then went to Hartman Middle School and taught there for 12 years. For the last three years I have been working in the district office as a full time mentor. The Professional Development Services team is a friendly, loving, and hardworking group that is committed to helping teachers become successful in the classroom. While working as a mentor, I completed the Principal Training Program. Teaching students and now teachers for the past 15 years has been a gratifying experience. I love my job and I hope my next 15 years in education will be as fulfilling as the last.
