Exchange students, transfer students and freshmen aren’t the only new faces at Jeff High this year. We also welcomed several new teachers.

The Hyphen asked some of the new staff members for their thoughts on teaching. Here’s what they said:

Ms. Stevens, Special Education
“No matter what accomplishments you achieve, somebody helped you.”

Mr. Russell, Special Education
“The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught. It’s that every student should be allowed to learn.”

Mr. Stock, Social Studies
“The greatest use of a life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.”

Mr. Manley, ROTC
“When all else fails, march with your head high.”

Ms. Esarey, Science
“When I was in the second grade I realized education can change your entire life. Now I’m honored to change someone else.”

Mr. Glesing, Social Studies and PE
“Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching them what counts is the best.”
