EBRPSS EDUCATOR OF THE MONTH
MARY PRESCOTT MARY PRESCOTT is overjoyed at being named November (2021) Educator of the Month for the East Baton Rouge Parish School System (EBRPSS). “I was truly shocked,” she said. But unfortunately, her kindergarten class at Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts was not. When the news broke, her class screamed with excitement for their teacher. “I love her!” one of her students exclaimed, smiling from ear to ear. The kids’ reaction is a true testament to the commitment Prescott has for her students’ education. EBRPSS and Louisiana State University partnered to create an appreciation contest dedicated to the educators in East Baton Rouge Parish. During pressing times, the systems wanted to thank the educators, instructors and teachers who educate the students. The announcement was made virtually to Prescott and the school, but it was made public at LSU’s football game against the University of Louisiana at Monroe. The teacher and her husband were treated to the game … a thank you from the parish for all she does for the school and her students. For Prescott, it was great to return to her alma mater. She graduated from LSU with a master’s degree in business and continued her profession in the corporate world. However, she realized that wasn’t her passion. “I spent some time working as a business professional but eventually decided to follow my true calling of becoming an elementary school teacher,” she said. “I am so happy that I made that choice.” The wife of Clint Prescott and mother to Hadden and William has been a teacher at BRCVPA since 2017. She started as a Pre-K teacher and then taught kindergarten at the elementary school. The Houmaborn teacher loves reading and science projects and brings that love to her students. Prescott’s kindergarten students reveal their love of reading and learning with their teacher—especially in the middle of the day when Prescott hugs them. “That’s their favorite part of the day,” she said. Likewise, the administrators at BRCVPA say that Prescott gives love and hugs inside and outside the classroom. “She’s a joy to be around,” Principal Louis Moore stated. “Mrs. Prescott gives a lending hand in whatever capacity at the school and the programs. It’s truly great to have her here.” Follow this fantastic teacher at the school’s Instagram page at @brcvpa.
