Only an imaginary line separates the two communities. Barbara attended school in Center, Texas, but was closely associated with all of the events that took place at Excelsior School in Aiken. Her three children attended Excelsior ISD, and she later became employed there. At long last, she achieved her dream of being a part of Excelsior School and is dedicated to making every student a part of the Excelsior family. Her love for the school and all of the students will last a lifetime.view less
