We are so excited to announce Ms. Grayci Gautreaux as Edgar Martin Middle School’s 2026–2027 New Teacher of the Year!

As a first-year teacher and our 7th Grade Math teacher, Ms. Gautreaux is already making a BIG impact! She has built strong relationships with her students, thoughtfully plans with their needs in mind, and brings a positive energy to her classroom that makes learning math something students can enjoy.

She may be new to the profession, but she’s been rocking the classroom like a veteran! From being a true team player to cultivating a love of math in her students, Ms. Gautreaux brings dedication and heart to everything she does.

We are beyond proud to announce Mrs. Eagleson as Edgar Martin Middle School’s 2026–2027 Teacher of the Year!

Our showstopping Band Director has made an incredible impact on our students, our school, and our community. Her expertise, positive attitude, leadership, and high expectations inspire our band students to achieve at the highest levels while finding so much success and joy through music.

Under Mrs. Eagleson’s leadership, our band has consistently earned Superior Ratings and Sweepstakes Performances, most recently earning the LMEA 2026 Standard of Excellence Award—the highest concert performance honor presented by LMEA! 🏆

But her impact reaches far beyond the stage. Mrs. Eagleson is a passionate advocate for music education who creates opportunities for collaboration, challenges students to grow, and helps them discover confidence, discipline, creativity, and a love of music. The impact she makes through music has a butterfly effect on our students’ personal and academic success.

Congratulations, Mrs. Eagleson! We are so lucky to have you leading our Rams and sharing your passion for music with our students every day. Thank you for everything you do for our EAM community!

🐏💚💛 RAM SOCIAL: Start Here, Go Anywhere! 💛💚🐏

Today, Rams from across the school came together for our Ram Social! This week, ELA classes connected our schoolwide theme, “Start Here, Go Anywhere” to the poem “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!,” including completing a reading reflection and creating a project.

Today’s Ram Social brought students from different classes and grade levels together to discuss the poem and connect its message to their own lives. Students shared their goals and dreams, places they hope to go, obstacles they may face, and ways they can keep moving forward. They also shared their creative projects with their groups.

🌟 A few brave Rams even took the stage to share their projects with everyone!

It was a great opportunity to connect, reflect, and remember that wherever our students hope to go, their journey starts here at Edgar Martin!

💚💛 Start Here. Go Anywhere. 💛💚
