Alyssa Ferguson Elementary School is the only school in Fort Bend ISD named in honor of a student.
During the dedication ceremony, Alyssa's parents spoke on how kind and giving she was, and her aspirations of wanting to be an educator. According to the district, Alyssa not only organized fundraisers as an FBISD student, but she was also a one-person homework helper for her classmates.
“Alyssa wanted to be a teacher,” her father Scott Ferguson said. “And while she never got to do that, she now gets to teach every child that comes through the doors of this beautiful school for decades to come.”'This is an incredible honor' | Fort Bend ISD to name new school after philanthropic teen who died of cancer
