Ubah Ali
President
South Sioux City High school
My passion for education began in 4th grade when I was welcomed by a dedicated and honorable teacher who adapted to all of my needs as a newcomer.
As a member of Educators Rising, I am working towards understanding more about the educational field and achieving my goal of becoming an educator.
Grace Baker
Secretary
Scottsbluff High School
I was inspired to join Educators Rising with a little push from my education teacher who has helped me grow outside of my comfort zone and discover my passion.
I want to become a teacher because I have watched my own teachers and the impacts they have on students and I want to do the same
MaKenna Benson-Berger
Vice President of Membership
South Sioux City High School
I want to become an educator because my teachers were always the ones to support me and believe in me during hard times. I want to do the same with my students.
I want to change the future and bring awareness to the education field.
Alexis Frans
Vice President of Communications
Papillion LaVista High School

I want to teach Special Education or Third Grade. My experience throughout all of my years of school have inspired me to become a teacher because I love what teachers do and I want to be able to give back to the community.
