Mrs. Sticht goes above and beyond the basics of what the job of a teacher entails.

She helps students with homework they don't understand, comforts them any time they need it, keeps students on track, validates and gives affirmations to students every single day, creates a team-oriented atmosphere, and has fun with everything she does. Not a day goes by where Mrs. Sticht doesn't help everywhere she goes, Mrs. Sticht has become my second mother.

I appreciate all the things she’s done for our leadership class this semester!
-Bri Killingbeck

MRS. EADY

I had Mrs. Eady last semester for English 4 and she is by far the best student I have ever had.

She is one of the most understanding teachers I have ever had. She makes school fun.

MS. PENLEY

She is constantly going above and beyond her duties as a one on one aid. She helps me with everyday classroom activities and deserves to be recognized for her extra effort!
-Riley Finch

MR. REYES

He has shown me kindness from the first time we met. He is always ready to help others and has a smile on his face. He is genuine and has one of the biggest hearts. He constantly involved in all things Stratford and makes coming to work fun. He also doesn't like pickles, I love pickles, and he gave me 2 pickles and you have to respect him for that.
-Maddie Latham

MR. LAWHON

He floats into my room during my planning period and he makes sure he asks me (and his students) every single day how we are doing, and it is not just a casual "how are you" he genuinely cares and you can tell because he looks you in the eye and actually listens to your response. I have also watched him teach this semester and I'll be honest, I never thought health could be interesting, but he engages his students, both blended and traditional, and he makes the content relevant and fun even. I am truly inspired by his way of teaching to take some of his tricks and tools and implement them in my own classroom.
-DeAnna Murray

MS.HODGE

Every time I've reached out to Ms Hodge about a student's attendance, she has been quick to respond and in most cases is already aware of particular issues and has gone above and beyond to reach out to and connect with students about their attendance issues - whether it be sending social workers to homes, or contacting guidance or parents.
-Kingry

MS. KERBER

She is a rockstar ESOL teacher and the best co-teacher! I would be lost without her!
-Jenna Conner

MR. EDWARDS

I am fortunate because I can speak on this from two viewpoints. First, I was his student back when I attended school here. Back then, he had such high expectations of his students (including myself). His expectations seemed almost unattainable. I did not realize it back then, but it prepared me for my future and taught me to hold myself and others to higher standards. Now, he is my work colleague and classroom neighbor. I'll admit, I thought I was on a reality TV show when I found out Mrs. Taylor put our classrooms next to one another. I thought, "surely this was a joke". Mrs. Taylor obviously knew what she was doing though because he has since become my best friend, my work dad, and my confidant. He deserves this honor and so much more. He is the teacher of a lifetime and students who have him are lucky to have him (even if they don't know it yet).
-Caitlin Demers

NURSE COOK

I am nominating Nurse Cook because she impresses me daily with how she has adapted to what has unfortunately become the "new norm" in the Stratford clinic. I especially appreciate how she checks in with me in the mornings to make sure I am aware of which teachers are out, which has proven to be tremendously helpful in arranging classroom coverage.
-Nicole

OFFICER CONRAD STAYTON

I am so glad that we have Stayton here at SHS.  He has been a great influence on my son and other students.  I have watched him work with students and truly care about them as he works with Police Cadets.  He is always there when we need him!

-Eugene Clarke

MRS. STICHT

-Lillian Hansen

VICTORIA DOUGLASS

Her class is the only class where I genuinely do not feel stressed or pressured. The atmosphere of the classroom is so chill and welcoming, it's a breath of fresh air whenever I walk in. The assignments are long and complicated but the open and friendly nature of the classroom makes it so much easier to handle the class. She treats us like normal people with opinions and thoughts and listens to us, rather then treat us like unintelligent children who are a waste of her time(which I think is a very good quality in an educator). She talks with us, makes us laugh, laughs with us, and just makes the class so much more enjoyable.
-Mackenzie Brown

MRS. HALLETT, MR. FLOYD, MRS. GLAZE

Because they have all been there to help out when you needed it and great at doing their jobs.

LAUREN JORDAN

Mrs. Jordan has been my DECA advisor for the last 3 years. She has been such a role model. She cares so deeply about her students. She has sat down with me and listened to me rant, seen me cry and been there for me. She doesn't get enough recognition. So Mrs. Jordan deserves faculty member of the month!
-Kiley Allen

-Tara Stevens

KATIE CHRISTOPHERSON

I often say that Kati deserves combat pay for dealing with some of the things she is faced with every day.  I won't go into more detail than that...everyone can use their imaginations.  In addition to her regular duties, Kati goes above and beyond to help her fellow workers with technology.  She helps make sure her coworkers are able to complete their safe schools training each year; she troubleshoots password issues for her coworkers, and she makes sure email is accessible for them.  She does all of these things with a patience that I admire combined with such a positive attitude.  We are lucky to have Kati as our custodian because she does an incredible job, but she deserves this recognition because she truly goes above and beyond each and every day.
-Amy Savage

NICOLE VON MUTIUS
