🎉Teacher Spotlight Winner Announcement 🎉
We joined with family and friends to present Mrs. Anne Volk at Legacy High School with the Teacher Spotlight Award! Mrs. Volk shows what it is like to give everything for her students and always want the best for them. Her student nominations really show how much she enjoys teaching, making the students smile and simply just making a positive impact on their lives. She had many great nominations, but here are is one thing a parent had to say.
"My English teacher is truly one of the most amazing teachers I’ve ever had. She was always so nice and understanding, never making anyone feel embarrassed for asking questions or needing extra help.
What made her even more special was how much she cared about her students beyond just academics. She made school feel less stressful and more like a place where we could all grow and feel supported. She gave me grace when I really needed it, and I will never forget her for that.
She even helped me with things outside of English, showing that she cared about me as a person, not just as a student. That kind of kindness and dedication is rare, and it’s something I’ll always appreciate. She didn’t just teach English—she taught compassion, confidence, and the importance of helping others.
Because of her, I’ve grown not only as a writer but also as a person. I’ll always be thankful for the joy and support she brought into my life."
"She's so nice and supportive! She seems like she genuinely loves teaching, and is always really in depth about whatever she's teaching us about. She's probably my favorite teacher I've had at Legacy, and it hasn't even been a full year!"
"She teaches with a passion that makes me want to learn about a subject, even if it looks boring at first glance."
