For 13 years, Ms. Boisseau has supported student growth and celebrated learning. Join us in celebrating her as an East Montgomery Elementary Teacher of the Year!
"My students have taught me that it is never too late to learn something new," she shared. As a Resource Teacher, she focuses each day on mastering skills that may be difficult for some students. "Learning a new skill can be challenging for many of my students, but seeing their joy when they finally overcome a struggle is such a reward. I absolutely love to help my students build their intrinsic motivation to help them achieve hard things."
We will continue to honor our outstanding educators this month as we approach our annual Teachers of the Year Celebration in February, hosted by the CMC Education Foundation and sponsored by Wyatt Johnson Automotive Group.

When they harness their creativity and trust in their musical skills, that’s when the magic of music really sparkles in my classroom!"

Stephanie Pierce loves her Virtual Voyagers students and has spent 12 years creating engaging classrooms. When asked what her favorite lesson or unit is to teach, she said she loves reading stories with her students. "My favorite unit to teach in reading is the unit where stories teach us many lessons. Life is a consecutive learning lesson from accomplishments, mistakes, and experiences. I love hearing their experiences and lessons they learn. Thus, students learn from each other."
We love celebrating our teachers as they make so many positive impacts on our students! Through February 21, the district will continue celebrating our Teachers of the Year as we move towards the annual Teachers of the Year event hosted by the CMC Education Foundation.

Lisa Price is a kindergarten teacher at Woodlawn Elementary who has been supporting students for 28 years. "My kindergarten students have opened my eyes to the fact that even at the early age of five, you can be carrying so much emotional baggage and stress," shared Ms. Price. "They have taught me the smallest act of kindness can change a person’s day. If your students know you genuinely care how much they learn and know how much you love them, even on bad days, they will work as hard as they can to make you proud of them."

Health Science Students Gain Work-Based Learning Experience Through Participation in District-wide Health Screenings 🩺
Students in the Health Science Academy and those participating in HOSA through their health-related Career and Technical Education pathways have participated in Work-Based Learning opportunities this year. In support of the Coordinated School Health program, students have assisted with conducting 14 health screenings across the district, reaching 825 students.
Our dedicated HOSA and Health Science students from Kenwood, Montgomery Central, Rossview, and West Creek high schools played a key role in making the screenings possible.
The students were instrumental in performing various tasks at the elementary and middle schools, including operating the Spot Digital Vision Machine for vision screening, using audiometers for hearing screenings, and taking manual blood pressure. This hands-on experience allows students to practice essential skills they’ll use throughout their healthcare careers while building confidence in interacting with younger students across different age groups.

"This is my 24th year in the classroom, and all of those years have been at Liberty Elementary," shared Ms. Harris, a beloved kindergarten teacher at Liberty Elementary. Ms. Harris taught first, second, and third grade before moving into a kindergarten classroom eight years ago.
"I absolutely love teaching Kindergarten," she said. "The students bring such an enthusiasm for learning every day. What I love teaching the most is not a specific unit but a year-long journey with phonics and word study. I love watching my students’ continuous growth in their ability to recognize letters and sounds. The students then begin to develop the capability to decode and encode and eventually writing in complete sentences and reading text. There are just so many amazing firsts that happen."
We love that our youngest learners have such a devoted teacher! Thank you, Ms. Harris, and congratulations on being named a Liberty Elementary Teacher of the Year!

Congratulations to Megan Stigall, the 2024-25 Teacher of the Year for Kirkwood High! Ms. Stigall has been an educator for 14 years, the past 12 years teaching high school Biology. "My favorite unit to teach is genetics because it naturally engages students` curiosity about inheritance and family traits," shared Ms. Stigall. "They often wonder why siblings can look different despite having the same parents. This genuine interest leads to thoughtful questions and engaging discussions, making the topic both relevant and enjoyable to explore together."
