Biographical / Historical

Carol Liberman graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Georgia and began her teaching career at age 20. She taught in Atlanta before moving to Houston in 1967. In Houston she joined the Teacher Corps, earned a M.Ed., and spent six years working to desegregate Houston public schools before moving on to teach at the Jewish Secondary school, which later became Emery Weiner where she taught English and History for 16 years.

In 1993, she began teaching at the Hebrew Academy, which later became Robert M. Beren Academy, where she taught for 21 years before retiring after over 48 years as an educator.

Outside of teaching, one of Liberman's great loves is baseball. When she moved to Houston in 1969 she became a die-hard Houston Astros fan, and was selected to represent the Houston Astros as one of "People's All-star teachers" in 2014 and was recognized at that year's MLB All-Star Game at Target Field in Minnesota.
