Gulfport High - Teacher Academy

Day 1 in Portland is complete!

We all competed today, walked to the grocery store, ate at an amazing local burger joint, participated in the Ed Rising opening ceremony, and ended the night at Voodoo Doughnuts!

What a great way to start the week! PS….its a glorious 67 degrees outside with NO humidity!

We are off to Nationals in Portland, Oregon! This is the first time 3 of my girls have ever flown! It has been an adventure so far! Wish us luck!

Today, we went to visit BVMS for career day! My junior girls did a great job talking about their future careers in education! I am so proud of them!

Monday Night, we celebrated with friends and family at the Teacher Academy Awards Night! It was a wonderful time to display all of the achievements my students have made throughout the year! Thank you to everyone who has supported us this year! Also a big shoutout to the Culinary 1 class who made our cupcakes for the celebration! 💙🧡

Today was a special day for Teacher Academy and William Carey! Nathaniel and Ashira both signed their scholarship offers for the education program at William Carey!

These students will each receive $38,000 over the next four years for completing two years of Teacher Academy and attending William Carey to pursue a degree in education! Congratulations!!

Congratulations to Ja’Nylah H. for receiving the Chris Smith Scholarship from the Women’s Club of Gulfport Group! This is awarded for a student going into the education field! She was recognized with another scholarship recipient last night at a dinner. You will do great things!

Ja'Nylah H. is this year’s recipient of the Chris Smith Scholarship from the Women's Club of Gulfport, which will aid her in pursuing an Elementary Education Degree!

Teacher Academy is so proud of you! 💙🧡

This week, Law and Public Safety partnered with Teacher Academy to host The Mock Trial of The Three Little Pigs Vs. B.B. Wolf!

My girls volunteered their time this week to earn their community service hours and some great experience working with the middle school students.

Also, a huge shout out to Ja’Nylah H. who stepped up and TAUGHT the STEM class today when her instructor had to be out. She killed it!

I am so proud of their hard work and dedication this week! Way to go, ladies!!

Last week, we finished one of our favorite assignments! Students made Game Boards about the 9 theorists that we covered in our Human Growth and Development Unit. This also ties into the “Teacher Created Materials” competition in Educators Rising!
