They loved us and worked hard to ensure we had the skills needed to succeed in the world. We, the students, were the focus of their care and the purpose of their work, as they used their skills to help shape young people into responsible adults. They supported us, offered a shoulder to cry on when we needed it, shared in the joy of our accomplishments, and urged us to keep moving forward. They embraced the challenges of teaching young people not for a modest paycheck, but because they came to work each day with energy, purpose, and love. They helped ensure that a group of adolescents had the tools they needed to become successful adults. They were teachers.
This page is dedicated to the many wonderful teachers at Farragut Consolidated School. From your former students: thank you, thank you very much.
