“I wouldn’t be who I am if it weren’t for Teach for America,” says Elsie Urueta Pollock, founder and executive director of Tulsa Honor Academy and a TFA alumna (St. Louis, 2008). “If I had not joined TFA, Tulsa Honor Academy would not exist.”
In May, Pollock received the inaugural Lynn Schusterman Award for Excellence in Leadership from TFA Greater Tulsa in recognition of her vision for equity, investment in relationships and commitment to place — and the positive effect she has had in the lives of Tulsans, according to leadership.
