When it comes to academic excellence at Nitsch Elementary, Ms. Bettina Boles is everywhere you look. As the architect behind math planning for grades 2–5, she’s not only driving student growth—she’s shaping the entire instructional approach. 

A master planner and peer coach, Ms. Boles brings intention, insight, and a collaborative spirit to everything she does. Her fingerprints are on the systems that make Nitsch such a high-functioning, student-focused campus. 

And while her work often happens behind the scenes, its impact is front and center in student results. Through Houston Loves Teachers, we honor Ms. Boles for raising the bar—and helping everyone around her reach it.

Good Reason Houston’s Houston Schools That Inspire and Houston Loves Teachers campaigns are celebrating high-performing schools—and the exceptional educators who help them thrive.
