DCPS Human Resources

🌎 When Ola Reiad moved from Egypt to the United States in 2001, she never imagined her journey would lead her to a first grade classroom at Biscayne Elementary Leadership Academy.

After raising her children and spending years as a substitute teacher, she found a passion for helping young learners discover something that lasts far beyond elementary school: confidence.

💬 "I love to see my kids grow. Like, they changed."

For Ola, success isn't just about teaching students how to read, write, or solve math problems. It's about helping them believe in themselves, work through challenges, and understand that they are capable of more than they realize.

Every day, she creates a classroom where students learn through movement, hands-on activities, and real-world experiences that make learning meaningful and fun.

❤️ That's the kind of impact happening every day at Duval County Public Schools.

💡 The best teachers don't create students who all think the same.

They create classrooms where every voice matters.

At Julia Landon College Preparatory Middle School, Andrew Ohmann has spent the last decade helping students find the confidence to speak up, think critically, and engage with the world around them.

Why has he stayed with Duval County Public Schools for 10 years?

"The students prove me right every year."

That's the kind of impact that keeps great educators inspired.

At Team Duval, educators are empowered to be creative, build meaningful relationships, and help students discover what's possible.

🍎 Some teachers choose a grade level.

Joyce Moussa always knew.

"I went to school solely to teach kindergarten. There was no other grade in my mind."

That passion is easy to see the moment you walk into her classroom at Abess Park Elementary School. Students are moving, participating, laughing, and learning. Every lesson is designed to keep young minds engaged and excited about coming to school.

But what stands out most isn't the activity.

It's the culture she's built.

Joyce believes respect goes both ways, and her students know they're cared for. That trust creates a classroom where children feel comfortable taking chances, asking questions, and growing both academically and personally.

After years in education, she's also found something special among her colleagues.

"The friendships... we're there to help each other if we ever need anything. I can't imagine leaving."

🎥 Watch Joyce's story and see how one kindergarten teacher is helping students build confidence, curiosity, and a sense of belonging from day one.

“She’s someone we can always count on.”

That’s how Principal Annessia Powell describes Kimberly Hayes at Duval County Public Schools GRASP Academy.

Paraprofessionals are often the quiet force behind student success. They support instruction, reinforce lessons, help students build confidence, and ensure learning continues no matter what challenges the day may bring.

After changing careers, Hayes stepped into education and quickly became an essential part of the GRASP Academy team. Whether she's helping students break down words, strengthen reading skills, or providing extra support in the classroom, her impact reaches far beyond a single lesson.

Principal Powell says Hayes is “an extension of the classroom,” helping students succeed one word, one lesson, and one breakthrough at a time. 💙
