my 30th year teaching

This was my 30th year teaching & the 15th time I've had 2nd gen students.

So half of my career, I have taught children of past students!

standing in back: me, Katrina Miller, Paige Little, twins: Tatum & Kinslee Ingram, Aiden Lynch, Keaton Black, Andrew Boucher, Blaine Dreyer, Cameron Cox; not pictured: Christian Zerbe

The class of 2024 is a special group for a couple reasons.

One: They will graduate from high school 40 years after I did.

Two: A few of these students' parents were in my very first 7th literature class back in 1989-90: the twins' dad, Jack V's dad, Charlie's mom, Katrina's dad, Paige's dad; Keaton's mom was in my first 8th grade literature class in 1989-90.
