Dear Teachers,
As I get ready to graduate, I’ve been thinking about how much this school and each of you has meant to me. I’ve been here since eighth grade, and it’s hard to believe how fast the time has flown by. Each of you has played a special part in my life, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Mrs. Amanda, math has always been my favorite subject, but your class made it even better. You made learning fun, even when the problems were tough. Your energy, your patience, and your creative way of teaching made every class enjoyable. You helped me grow in something I already loved, and I’ll always remember how much I looked forward to math because of you.
Mrs. Youmans, you have been more than just a great English teacher. You’ve been someone who truly cares about your students, and that has meant so much. You made English class feel like a safe space, where we could be ourselves, learn deeply, and feel heard. Your encouragement, understanding, and support will always stay with me.
Mrs. Lauren, thank you for being such a kind and steady presence. You teach with heart, and it shows in how much you care about your students, not just in class, but as people. Whether it was helping someone stay on track, taking time to check in, or simply being patient and understanding, your support has meant more than you probably know. You made learning feel less overwhelming and helped bring a sense of calm when things got chaotic.
Mrs. Casto, even though I never had you as a teacher, seeing you in the hallway always
brightened my day. Your smile, your kind words, and your positive energy made a difference.
You made this school feel more welcoming just by being you.
Mrs. Kelli, thank you for being a strong and faithful leader. The way you lead this school with grace, strength, and a love for God has created something truly special. Your dedication to
building a place where students can grow academically and spiritually has touched all of us.
Mrs. Sabrina, even though I didn’t have a science class this year, I will always remember your class and your personality. You made science fun, exciting, and full of life. You were goofy in the best way, always finding ways to make us laugh while still helping us learn. Even when I hated chemistry, you made it something I could handle, and that says a lot. But more than the subject, what really stood out was how much you cared. You were always present, always involved, and you made every student feel important. You brought energy, joy, and genuine love into the classroom, and that’s something I’ll never forget.
To all of you, thank you for being such a big part of my journey. I’ve learned more than just
school subjects here. I’ve learned from your examples, your kindness, and your dedication.
Thank you for helping shape who I am today.
With so much gratitude, Lenox Ford
