Houston - Tiffany Hill, a dance instructor at La Marque High School, has been nominated for the 2022-23 National LifeChanger of the Year award. Sponsored by the National Life Group Foundation, LifeChanger of the Year recognizes and rewards the very best K-12 educators and school district employees across the United States who are making a difference in the lives of students by exemplifying excellence, positive influence and leadership.

Hill was nominated by Elayne Sapp, a member of the community.

Hill was a first-generation college student, so she understands how many students struggle with the college application process. Therefore, she has made it her mission to do all she can to assist her students with their college applications. At first, Hill assisted her dance students with college preparation, but her help quickly expanded to students outside her class.

"When I heard Mrs. Hill's story, I fell in love with her mission and passion for guiding and encouraging all students to seek knowledge and become their best selves," said Sapp. "She has a beautiful spirit and an amazing heart for teaching and being of service to her students. She is truly making a difference in her school, students, and community."
