Mrs. McComas was the early childhood special education teacher at Weaver Elementary school when I attended elementary school there. She allowed me to assist her students and classroom when I was in the 5th grade and it led me to find a love for special education and the wonderful students she worked with! Because of the experiences she provided me, I am now an Adapted PE teacher in the same district serving the students of GISD! She has made a lifelong impact on so many students, families and co-workers! Congratulations Sheila! Very well deserved!!
