Mrs. Marissa Segall
6th Grade Social Studies Teacher, Department Head and COGG

Since joining the Bobcat family in 2019, I have dedicated my career to fostering an engaging and enriching learning environment for my students. I am proud to serve as a 6th-grade World Cultures teacher, the campus social studies department head, and the champion of gifted services (COGG).

I earned my degree in education from Texas Woman's University, where I obtained certifications to teach Social Studies, Math, Science, and English Language Arts for grades 4-8. Additionally, I pursued further education to become certified in English as a Second Language (ESL). My commitment to lifelong learning drives me to enhance my skills through additional professional development and conferences, as I am now trained in restorative practices and serving students in the gifted and talented program.

My teaching philosophy centers around making learning an experience rather than a mere transaction. I strive to inspire my students to think critically about the world around them and to understand the relevance of what they learn in my classroom. While I recognize that learning can be challenging, I am dedicated to guiding my students on their educational journeys through patience, encouragement, and allowing them to be the leaders in their learning.

In my first year as a Bobcat, I was honored to be selected as our campus Rookie Teacher of the Year, and in 2023, I received the prestigious Teacher of the Year award at First Colony Middle School. I take great pride in serving our school and community.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy walking my dog, Falafel, cheering on the Dallas Mavericks (no apologies to the Rockets), and exploring new restaurants around town with my husband.
