Thank you, Vaughn!

It was a night of celebration!

Last night, Mrs. Vaughn Gross—leader, educator, UT alumna, and namesake of our Vaughn Gross Center for Reading and Language Arts—was honored with the Dean’s Changemaker Award, recognizing individuals whose work has made a lasting difference in education, health, or sport.

At the Meadows Center, we were proud to recognize Vaughn with our 2024 Educator Icon Award, and we are thrilled to see her continued legacy of leadership and impact celebrated.

Her commitment to literacy and education has changed countless lives. Congratulations, Vaughn! 📷

I’m seeing all the posts celebrating principals this month. No one appreciates educators more than I. But I appreciate principals who open car doors, greet kids, sweep floors, move furniture… whatever they would expect others to do! There are no thrones in the school house!
