Psencik arrives at work at 7 a.m. and doesn’t leave until all her work
is done. “Debbie Psencik has been one of the best teachers at Sam
Houston since beginning her time here,” Wall said. “And for the past
three years, she has been one of the main reasons we’ve enjoyed the
success academically that has taken place at Sam Houston.”
