Harris County Department of Education Communications Manager Carol Vaughn recognized Samica with a Media Honor Roll certificate at the ABC13 studios.
"Samica has supported after school in Houston this past year by being the emcee at our event, which supports after school teachers and educators," Vaughn said.
The department honors eight local journalists each year.
