Noyce Teacher Courtney Wattles
Math teacher at Bryan High School
"The Noyce Scholarship program opened many doors for me. For example, I worked with a teacher from Bryan High School and when it came time to do my student teaching, I was able to be his student teacher and received a job opportunity at Bryan."
Noyce Teacher Darío Gudiño
Math teacher at Bryan High School
"Through the Noyce program, I assisted with a class at Metropolitan Community College where the majority of students were from minority populations and struggled with mathematical content. I really connected with the students and enjoyed what I was doing. I also know they benefited from having someone like me there with them."
