Help bring Judith home. Her inspiring journey from humble classrooms to national recognition.
Judith Goodman’s educational odyssey began in the modest classrooms of South Houston Elementary, where she first discovered her calling for teaching young minds. Her passion and skill quickly became apparent as she helped pioneer the opening of Mae Smythe Elementary, establishing not just classrooms but creating educational environments where children thrived. After three decades of direct classroom impact, Goodman’s expertise was recognized at the district level, where she transitioned to a curriculum specialist role. Yet retirement didn’t diminish her commitment to education; instead, it presented a new chapter. She launched her own consulting business, transforming from a beloved local teacher to a nationally recognized expert who traversed the country sharing her methodologies with eager educators looking to replicate her success.
Educators are the architects of future generations. They hold pencils, chalk, and sometimes our very dreams, shaping minds with patience and love. Judith Goodman has touched countless students’ lives over her 30-year career at Pasadena Independent School District. Her impact extends beyond mere academics; she inspires lifelong learners, empathic citizens, and leaders of tomorrow. Her family is holding a Spaghetti Dinner and Bake Sale this Saturday, April 26th, to raise money for her continued care after she suffered a devastating stroke while visiting friends in Maine. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Eagle pride soared high as past and present united, reminding everyone that Eagle roots run deep and vibrant.
Eagle Pride Never Dies!
During our Eagle Escort Spring Show showcase, we had the honor of welcoming back legendary alumni Sylvia Harden (‘74), Evelyn Stubbs Jackson (‘75), Gayle Bourque Melancon (‘76), and Patti Drake Bodkins (‘76). These incredible women returned not only to relive memories as Eagle Escorts. Their smiles, stories, and presence reminded us just how deep our 59 years of Escorts roots run.
But the night didn’t just belong to the past, it shined with our current Eagle Escorts, who lit up the stage with spirit, and passion.
We’re proud to share a glimpse of this unforgettable night, a video of the showcase and a moment with the alumni as a reminder that Eagle Pride Never Dies!
From past to present, the legacy continues.
This is our pride. This is our purpose. This is Pasadena.
