Take care! Sixth grade math teacher Annetta Conway is just another person out of the faculty who is retiring. She has worked at the district for a total of 27 years.

As the last day of school approaches, the conclusion of sixth grade math teacher Annetta Conway’s career will also come. Her dedication is appreciated as she has been in this school since it opened and including other places, she has worked in the district for a stunning 27 years!

 

“I decided to teach after I had been working for a corporation and didn’t get much satisfaction out of it. I went back to school to get my teaching certificate and have been teaching ever since. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made!” said Conway.

 

Conway also says she loves when a student finally gets the concept and the “lightbulb” goes on in their head.

 

Yet, she is excited to travel with her husband, family and wonderful friends over into the next chapter of her life!
