Three Harmony Public Schools-North Texas parents have been named recipients of the 2026 Heroes for Children Award, a statewide recognition honoring parents and community leaders who make significant contributions to public education.
Sadia Hassan of Harmony Science Academy-Euless, Villa Copeland of Harmony Science Academy-Dallas Elementary and Hannah Ramsey of Harmony School of Innovation-Garland are among 15 recipients selected across Texas for the 2026 honor.
The three parents were recognized for their leadership, volunteer service and commitment to supporting students, families and staff at their respective campuses.
At Harmony Science Academy-Euless, Hassan helped organize a community response after a senior student's family lost their home in a fire, raising more than $1,000 in three days and coordinating donations of clothing, food and other essential items. She also serves as PTO vice president and was named the campus 2026 Parent of the Year.
Copeland, PTO vice president and 2026 Parent of the Year at Harmony Science Academy-Dallas Elementary, has supported campus initiatives while helping connect students and families with needed resources.
At Harmony School of Innovation-Garland, Ramsey has contributed her time and professional experience to support student programs, classroom learning, athletics and campus activities. She was named 2026 Campus and District Parent of the Year.
"Parents play an important role in the success of our schools, and these three individuals have gone above and beyond in service to their students, educators and school communities," Harmony Public Schools-North Texas Superintendent Harun Karan said. "We are proud to see their commitment recognized at the state level."
The Heroes for Children Award recognizes parents and community leaders for their leadership, volunteerism and dedication to improving educational opportunities for students. Hassan, Copeland and Ramsey will be recognized alongside the other 2026 recipients during the State Board of Education's general meeting Sept. 4, 2026, in Austin.
