The teacher behind a controversial mock awards ceremony at a Houston-area school Tuesday is a former Houston Texans cheerleader, reports say.

The Daily Mail reported that Stacy Lockett, a teacher in Anthony Aguirre Junior High's college-prep AVID program course, is a former Texans cheerleader and that her contact page has since been removed from the school's website.

Original story below:

A Houston-area school is apologizing after seventh-grade students were given awards that named them "most likely to become a terrorist" and "most likely to blend in with white people."

The students got the certificates during a mock awards ceremony, which followed the official awards ceremony at Anthony Aguirre Junior High, the school said in a statement.

"As principal, I want to assure all students, parents and community members that these award statements and ideals are NOT representative of the Aguirre Vision Mission, and educational goals for its students," the statement said.

Lizeth Villanueva told Click2Houston.com that she was given the "most likely to become a terrorist" award Tuesday in her AVID class, an advanced learning program to prepare students for college.

Her mother, Ena Hernandez, was furious and said her daughter was hurt by the award.

"When she first showed me the paper, I'm like, 'What is this?' I read it again, and I'm like, 'What is this?' That's when my daughter told me it was supposed to be a joke," Hernandez told the station. "It doesn't look like a joke to me."

Lizeth said the teacher meant the awards to be funny and gave out others but added that "it might hurt [students'] feelings," the station reported.

"It was not a joke," Lizeth said. "I do not feel comfortable with this. … I do not feel comfortable being in the same classroom with" the teacher.

Sydney Cesar was given a certificate that said she is "most likely to blend in with white people."

"It made me feel really embarrassed about what other people were going to say," she told KRIV-TV.

Sydney didn't go to the last day of school because she was upset by the award, she said.

"For that child to either be called a terrorist or she's not black enough, basically now the students are taking that and that's her label for the rest of the school year," her mother, Latonya Robinson, told KRIV.

The school principal apologized in person for the mock awards, and the district, Channelview ISD, said the teacher had been disciplined.

The AVID program said in a statement that the awards were the "reprehensible action of one teacher that does not in any way reflect the AVID values."

"We do not condone, support or in any way promote this behavior," the statement said.

The district did not release the teacher's name; however, Lizeth told the station the teacher was suspended.

Lizeth's mother said she doesn't think suspension is enough, though.

"Get fired, at least, or something," she told KHOU-TV.

On Lockett's teacher website, which has since been removed, she wrote:

I am very excited about this upcoming school year and look forward to working with you and your child! I am a graduate of Lamar University as well as a former Lamar University cheerleader! I have been teaching in Channelview ISD for 10 years and was honored by being named the very FIRST LCPL Anthony Aguirre Junior High Teacher of the Year and Channelview ISD Secondary Teacher of the Year 2012-2013.
