Ellen Ochoa, born on May 10, 1958, is an accomplished American engineer, former astronaut, and former director of the Johnson Space Center. In 1993, Ochoa made history as the first Latina woman to venture into space during a memorable nine-day mission aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. Following the retirement of the previous director, Michael Coats, on December 31, 2012, Ochoa assumed the role of director at the center. Her appointment marked a significant milestone as she became the first Latina director and the second female director of the Johnson Space Center. #hispanicheritagemonth #ellenochoa

Today is National IT Appreciation Day and Riverwalk Academy literally could not function without Ms. Rachel Taylor. She plays an integral role in keeping our digital world operating and our staff from going into full panic, post apocalypse mode when the wifi signal dips below 100mps. She also brings a joy and love for her co-workers and students that is infectious and encouraging to all. Our pride is better because of you, Ms. Taylor!!! #riverwalkacademy #itappreciationday #schoolofchoice #southcarolinacharterschools #powerofthepride
