SAN ANGELO, TX – Together with Whataburger, San Angelo ISD and Lake View High School proudly celebrate LVHS Chemistry teacher Rachal Brewster for her recent recognition as a Whataburger “WHATAteacher” for going above and beyond to make a difference with her students and on the Lake View campus. This morning, Whataburger representative Sarah Marston, and area and local store leaders and team members, surprised Ms. Brewster with the award and a $1,000 teacher grant at Lake View High School, where she was joined by her fellow staff members and students.
“Whataburger is proud to help celebrate teachers who are key to our children’s success, keeping them on the path to bright futures right here in San Angelo, Texas,” said Whataburger Area Manager for San Angelo and Brownwood David Boney.
WHATAteacher Ms. Brewster teaches Chemistry, including Pre-AP, Honors and dual-credit courses, leads the LVHS Science UIL team, and coaches shot put and discus. She is also recognized as an excellent collaborator and leader who immediately sought out innovative strategies to engage students, and help them to continue to grow and learn during the early stages of the pandemic. Ms. Brewster is recognized for building rapport with each student, making each student feel appreciated for their unique interests and talents- a true exemplification of a SAISD Difference Maker.
“Ms. Brewster puts her entire heart into supporting her students’ success, both in her chemistry classroom and on the track field,” said LVHS Principal Zach Ramirez. “With her commitment, she models the motivation required to achieve success at the highest level, and her students trust her with their athletic and life goals because of the passion she has for making a difference in her students’ lives.”
Principal Ramirez credits Ms. Brewster with inspiring students to overcome obstacles like poverty to earn chemistry college hours while in high school, noting that she “tirelessly commits” and “allows our students opportunities to prepare themselves for a better future.”
“I am humbled by this morning and extremely grateful to Whataburger for the award, because it will help us in the Chemistry department to continue to add probe ware for data collection for the student's benefit while conducting labs,” said Ms. Brewster. “Also, thank you to Whataburger for brightening our day with all the joy they brought. I am beyond blessed by my coworkers. I love working here at Lake View with my colleagues who bring positive energy every day and support one another through all types of obstacles.”
Ms. Brewster shared that an important role model for her as a chemistry and throwers coach is her father adding that “[he] has provided me with so much support to become the teacher and coach that I am. Teaching is joyous because of the students that come in each day looking forward to learning, especially in labs. I am blessed by the support system I have here, and thankful every day for my family and friends who enrich my life.”
In addition to the WHATAteacher recognition, Whataburger has been supporting educators across our community this week for Teacher Appreciation Week and in support of SAISD Difference Maker Day this Friday, May 6, 2022. SAISD teachers in our community are able to enjoy a free breakfast item (choose from a taquito, breakfast on a bun, or original honey butter chicken biscuit) from 5:00-9:00am each day this week. In advance of the celebration of SAISD Difference Maker Day, all Lake View High School staff were treated to a breakfast by Whataburger this morning.
Congratulations to Ms. Brewster, our LVHS WHATAteacher, and thank you for all you do to positively impact the lives of our students. Our people truly make the difference.
