As we continue to take time to remember past Dignity & Respect champions, let us honor Esther Haguel , April 2010’s Dignity & Respect honoree chosen for the award because of her extraordinary dedication to creating an environment of inclusion for children each day.
Esther Haguel doesn’t believe success has a race, gender, or socioeconomic level – she believes and lives by the principle that success stems from an individual’s strengths. Haguel works every day to teach children that when people bring out the best in each other, everyone benefits. A counselor at Northside Urban Pathways Charter School, Haguel is the recipient of the Dignity and Respect Champion Award for her work in breaking down barriers for children, and leading them to lives of success.
A native of New York City, Haguel moved to Pittsburgh in 1990 after earning a master’s degree in social work from Tulane University in New Orleans. Haguel helps Urban Pathways serve more than 300 students and works with children in sixth through ninth grades who may be struggling with schoolwork, home life, or other personal obstacles.
