Check out some of our outstanding Teachers of the Month:

“As an educator, Ms. Catledge has high expectations for her students, and she expects professionalism from her co-workers. Ms. Catledge finds her work rewarding and fulfilling, while instilling within her students their past doesn’t dictate their future. Ms. Catledge’s students look forward to seeing her on a daily basis.” - Dr. Robert Josef Moore II

“I am so impressed with Chad’s effort to create memorable and exciting lessons for his special needs students. He creates ways for his students to learn at any level while still following the challenging state standards. Through his innovation, he has made the lessons engaging, fun, and interesting for his students.” - Brenda Frankart, Administrator
“Lisa

is very consistent. She teaches pride and ownership responsibility, as well as the curriculum. Lisa is very organized. Her motto is ‘Today is a great day to have a great day.’ Dependable and committed are other words that come to mind.” - Cassandra Boyer
“She comes to work each day to positively impact

students with her passion, enthusiasm, and high energy. She holds high expectations for each student and provides the necessary guidance to help them achieve those expectations.” - Michael Kauffeld, Administrator

“Her teaching style reaches learners of all abilities. She cares about every single student and strives to provide them with the tools they need for life.” - Kim Marfy, Teacher
“Students love Mrs. Burcher and Mrs. Burcher loves

them. In the first year of teaching, her students demonstrated some of the highest writing scores across Ohio. She organizes the spelling bees and attends the extracurricular activities of her many students.” - Jody Ditcher, Administrator

“I am nominating Mrs. Armstrong for Teacher of the Month due to her undeniable love and passion for teaching. She has brought out a love for reading in my son that he has never had. I continuously find him reading books in his free time and they are books I would have never expected him to choose. He comes home talking about Mrs. Armstrong all the time and how much he enjoys her class. Her love for her students extends past the classroom, as I also spotted her at a middle school basketball game this week supporting her students.” - Joel Porter, Parent
