Faculty Spotlight

“Mrs. Woodie is a one of a kind yearbook adviser. She’s always there to help us when we need her and is always open to our ideas. She has made my yearbook journey amazing with the amount of work she puts into helping us learn new techniques to design our pages. Mrs. Woodie is a loving and caring teacher and I’m so thankful to have her as an adviser to guide me through my time in Yearbook class.”

-Leah Brabham, 11th grade
