Holding a bucket of materials in one hand and a roll of tape in another, anatomy and biology teacher Tyler Terry prepares for a lab. Terry said his proudest moments are when his students are happy to see him. “When I take my wife to a football game or something and a bunch of students want to say hi to me or they like to smile and wave and it just makes me feel good that the students are really kind and supportive of me,” Terry said. “[I’m also] proud when I see students perform really well in their extracurriculars because I can see how hard they’re working in my classes, [so] when I see that they’re also working so hard in other things. Like they’re winning band competitions or they’re getting awards for their theater productions, or I see them put on their choir shows, that’s like, wow, you guys are incredible.”

Young Spanish III, AP IV, and AP V teacher and AP grader Kris Campos stands on some rocks at a historic site in France. Campos’ grandparents spoke German, so she took a few German classes in elementary school but did not learn much of the language past that. In high school, however, Campos began learning French and continued to learn more in college. “I had an aunt in France [who] worked in the fashion world, and she was gorgeous,” Campos said. “I wanted to understand what she was saying, so when I went to college I took French. And I loved it. I took French one, two, three, four, and then I did my junior year abroad in France, and studying abroad was absolutely life-changing. France was [my] first life-changing experience because I had never been out of the country before, [and] I met people from all over the world.”
