empower success stories
“Mr. Hampton was an amazing teacher who went above and beyond — not just in the classroom, but as a mentor. His tutoring sessions made a huge difference in my understanding of math and boosted my confidence. I noticed real growth in my test scores and overall performance after working with him, and I wasn’t the only one. My classmates saw their scores improve too, and together we were able to strengthen our math skills and pass the STAAR exam. Mr. Hampton truly helped us believe in ourselves and our ability to succeed.”

It all starts with an idea. I fully support Mr. Hampton for his excellent student support work at South Early College High School during 2024/25. As a parent, I have seen his great mentoring skills firsthand. This past year, he motivated students, worked well with staff, and led important school projects. For example, he helped improve communication between staff and parents, increasing staff involvement in the PTSA. His dedication to creating a positive learning environment is remarkable. Mr. Hampton offers strong academic guidance, inspires others, and communicates clearly. His commitment to both students and ongoing growth makes him a valuable part of our school, respected by both parents and students. I believe he has the skills to achieve even more success, and I am proud to support him.
