Mrs. McKenzie teaches robotics at Altus High School. This is a new class, and she is lacking funding to purchase the materials necessary to effectively teach this class. The students are really excited to take a robotics class, and I think funding her classroom will only increase the interest in this class.

Mrs. Hamersly teaches students with Special Needs. She teaches the whole child and never stops finding new ways to ensure they are learning at their levels and beyond.

Shes one of the few teachers [...]

To start, I need to give a slight back story. I am a substitute teacher in a district that frequently doesn’t have enough subs to cover all positions. I went to sub at Edison Elementary School in Lawton, OK as a long term substitute for a maternity leave position. The pregnancy ended up being high risk so I had to start the second week of school and work full time for the next 15 weeks! The teacher that I [...]

Ms. Rodriguez is one of the most selfless people I know. She constantly goes above and beyond making sure her students never EVER have to go without.

She never complains about being tired, stressed, or worried. She would [...]

Mrs. Langston has been teaching for over 20 years. I have been lucky enough to be her assistant and in turn, have her as my mentor.

She is also a part of the leadership and hospitality groups in our school and helps with fundraisers [...]
