LPS is proud to honor our 2026 Educational Hero Award recipients, Alma Robles and Tara Lampe! Recipients are nominated by their coworkers and then Selected by the district. We are so proud to have these outstanding educators as part of Lawrence Public Schools! Their dedication does not go unnoticed and the impact they have is profound. Congratulations to our very deserving staff members! "Alma Robles is a dedicated educator and proud Lawrence alumna who truly exemplifies the mission of "putting students first." Alma serves as a Kindergarten/First-grade teacher and has held various roles within the district, consistently advocating for the success and well-being of every student she encounters. Known for her flexibility and unwavering focus, Alma ensures her students receive exactly what they need to thrive. Regardless of her role, she regularly goes above and beyond to provide essential support and guidance. Her impact extends far beyond the classroom; she also serves as a Lead Administrator for the Van Buren Migrant Program, a PTO leader, and a multi-sport coach. Lawrence Public Schools is proud to recognize Mrs. Alma Robles for her multifaceted commitment to our students and community. Tara Lampe is described by her colleagues as the "glue" that holds Lawrence Elementary together as the Student Suport Coordinator. Her work exists at the vital intersection of education and compassion, where she has dedicated years to removing barriers between students and their success. Her mission is simple: ensuring every child—regardless of circumstance—feels safe, loved, and ready to learn. By addressing survival needs first, Tara allows students to focus on their academic potential. Whether she is coordinating services for families in transition after hours or advocating for a child over the weekend, her commitment is tireless. Beyond her title, it is Tara’s spirit that defines her impact. Known for her constant smile and welcoming presence, she builds the trusting relationships necessary to ensure no child in the district goes unnoticed. With a "sweet pleasant attitude" and heart-led advocacy, Tara keeps students at the center of every decision. Her dedication has not only strengthened our school community but has changed the trajectory of countless lives. Lawrence Public Schools is a better district because of the heart and hard work of Mrs. Tara Lampe." -Superintendent Ryan Williamson
