As Austin ISD continues to celebrate Black History Month, we must recognize the trailblazers of the past who have shaped the district today. 

  • This week, we’re honoring Olyvia Green — Austin ISD’s first Black teacher at Pease Elementary School. 

Why it matters: Green paved the way for Black teachers during integration and created a lasting legacy for hundreds of students she taught during her years at Pease.
