Kentisha Aidi
Destined to make a difference in children’s lives!
The Natchitoches Central High School graduate has three years of experience teaching in a military environment. She graduated cum laude from the University of Houston, earning a Bachelor’s of Arts degree and a minor in Education with Teacher’s Certification.
Kentisha has the proven ability to enhance student performance by fostering an environment where students can think on a higher level. This has been her number one goal since entering the Alief school district two years ago. To Ms. Aidi, art is a gift from birth that she shares with her students in the hope that they will be inspired to express themselves in a way that will enrich the lives of others. When Ms. Aidi is not making a positive impact in children’s lives, she enjoys biking, cooking, drawing, and running.
