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!

17 from the class of 2024 as 7th graders in 2018-19

for 4 of these, I taught BOTH of their parents

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 Ingram 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, and Colton's mom was on the CHS BB team when I was the assistant coach that same year.

19 from class of 2025 in 2019-20! I had them in 7th grade that year, but this picture wasn't taken until their 8th grade year due to the Covid-19 shutdown of all Kansas schools.
