1970s Alumni

I started in the late 70's as a kinder at Brookwood Elementary.  Eventually moving on to JB Thomas and then graduating from Hilhi in 1991. I then did my student teaching in HSD and was hired in 1997.

 

When I was six years old, I used to gather the neighborhood kids and wrangle them to my playroom to play "school." I spent most of my allowance at the teacher store buying supplies such as correcting pens, smelling stickers, and colored paper. I would then get all the unused dittos from my teachers so the kids had work to do. I knew one day that I would teach.

 

As I began my 23rd year of teaching in HSD this year (2019), it was only fitting that I have a lunch date to thank the women who were so instrumental in my decision to be a teacher. This is one of my favorite sayings...Truly great teachers are hard to find, difficult to part with and impossible to forget.
