I take #TeacherAppreciationWeek very seriously myself. Not so much because of my personal experience as a teacher as my personal experience as a student. I can point to 6 specific teachers from my K-12 years who changed my life forever.
Not just this week but EVERY week, I feel compelled to #ThankATeacher:
1. Joe Harris, Elem Gifted Ed
2. Pennie Pearlman, MS Drama
3. Bill Womack, HS Health/PE
4. Lorraine Young, Algebra 1 & Geometry
5. Denie Pursley, Chemistry
6. Sandra Owens, AP Chem, Anatomy, & Microbiology

I became a teacher in order to try to give back and hopefully do for other young people what that group of teachers did for me: Inspire, motivate, love (sometimes tough love when needed), educate, encourage, counsel, and empower.
I’ll always be a teacher first and foremost, but these days, I’m very fortunate to be able to see so many amazing @EHS_Eagles teachers who do that kind of work on behalf of kids every day. I’m going to share just a few of those this week.
