Some educators teach lessons that last a semester. Others leave a lasting impression that will shape lives for years to come.

Marcia K. Regan was one of those extraordinary teachers.

Throughout her nearly three decades in Catholic education, Marcia believed every child deserved to be seen, encouraged and challenged to become the person God created them to be.

In March, the Omaha City Council unanimously voted to rename a section of 74th Street and Western Avenue near Creighton Prep in honor of Ms. Tessie O. Edwards — a beloved educator whose impact continues to shape lives long after her passing in 2012.
