By Ian Dinkins, Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications
Fifth Grade Social Studies Teacher Connie Fink was named National Teacher of the Week by The Week Junior, a news publication for students ages 8-14 that provides the facts behind what’s happening in the world and empowers Gen Alpha to develop and voice their own point of view.
Fink was chosen from a nationwide pool of teachers after being nominated by former student Lauren Koethe ’31.
“Mrs. Fink is the best teacher ever. She’s the sweetest, kindest, most loving person on the planet. You feel a sense of safety when you’re around Mrs. Fink. She’s super understanding and easy to talk to. Her sense of humor is also amazing,” Lauren wrote in her nomination. “I was lucky to be in her advisory this year, and it has been a blast! Mrs. Fink shows no judgment toward anyone. She is the most positive person ever! She is the reason I love middle school so much.”
High School English Teacher Ann Wheeler and Sixth Grade Science Teacher Amy Dortch have announced that 2024-2025 will be their final years of teaching.
