The U.S. Navy veteran credits his wife, family and his “Klein Oak work family” for their support and motivation along the way.
Stephen Hansell realized his true calling while working as a campus custodian during the night shift at Klein Oak High School in Spring, Texas. While he’s still employed by the school district, he is stepping into a new role this month. Hansell is now a seventh-grade Texas History teacher at Krimmel Intermediate School.“I know it’s going to sound cliché,” Hansell told the Houston Chronicle. “I had a dream. I can’t remember real details, but I do remember I was teaching in the dream.
“I wanted to work for Klein ISD so that I could do something for the kids,” Hansell said in a Klein Independent School District news release. “Anything would do, as long as I could do my part, so I happily took the custodian job. I eventually researched what I needed to do to become a teacher and am now in the Inspire Texas certification program with Region 4.”
Over the two years he remained in the custodian position, Hansell developed relationships with the staff and students, which inspired him to complete his alternative teaching certification. He credits his wife, family and his “Klein Oak work family” for their support and motivation along the way.“I’m excited for that first ‘lightbulb moment’ where the student doesn’t understand something, I explain it, and they finally get it,” Hansell told Klein ISD.
