ATTENTION Class of 2023!! Information was sent home with Seniors today and posted to the Senior Google Classroom regarding the upcoming Senior Walk/Slideshow on May 4th.
This will be a special event for our senior class and their families. Each senior will create a sign (should represent the student and their personality and interests and be in GOOD TASTE following the sign guidelines posted on the handout and in the GC) that they will carry while wearing their cap & gown as they walk the Elementary, Middle School and High School hallways concluding in the cafeteria where they will watch their slideshow together as a group on stage.
Please email any group photos you may have of the seniors with their classmates or 3-5 individual photos of the senior no later than May 1st at 3:30pm to Mrs. Huckabee at huckabeejoanna@tenahaisd.com. Any photos received after this time will not be used in the slideshow.
All seniors will need to wear jeans and a white shirt (blouses for ladies and collared polo or button down for gentlemen) under their cap & gown for this event. Once the slideshow is over, families will be asked to exit the school in order for our staff to prepare for lunch. Seniors will join Mrs. Huckabee at the stadium to take a few group/class photos for the yearbook. These photos will be shared on the senior google classroom once they have been edited.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Huckabee.
Tenaha ISD is proud to recognize our 2022-2023 Teachers of the Year! These two educators will be recognized at the annual Shelby County Teacher Appreciation Reception hosted by the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce on May 3rd.
Tenaha ISD wants to congratulate Mrs. Alyssa King for being nominated for the Shelby County Teacher of the Year. Mrs. King was nominated by her elementary principal, Elizabeth Ward. Mrs. King has been teaching for 13 years, the last 8 at Tenaha. This year, Mrs. King is teaching a PK/K blended class. Mrs. King is patient, kind, and passionate about teaching. She goes above and beyond in and out of the classroom to help make each day a special learning experience for her kids. “Alyssa has been an enormous help to me as a first-year principal and has helped out our new teachers as well. Her organization and dedication to kids was apparent to me in the first few weeks of meeting her,” Mrs. Ward said. Mrs. King is certified EC-6 and has her Masters in Reading Education.
Tenaha ISD is honored to also congratulate Mrs. Joanna Huckabee as being our nominee for the Shelby County Teacher of the Year for Secondary Schools. She was nominated by her peers and administration team. Mrs. Huckabee is currently teaching CTE Courses in the AV endorsement which include both video production and graphic design and digital media, taught our first class of Drone Certification students, is the yearbook advisor, and serves as our district Director of Communications and Marketing. She was recently named our Director of Technology for the upcoming school year. Mrs. Huckabee loves helping students find their "place" in school, because she feels they all have something they can be great at. She received her Bachelor's degree in broadcast and Masters in educational leadership with a principal's certification both from Stephen F. Austin. Mrs. Huckabee and her husband, Blake are the proud parents of Hadlee (12) and Reese (8).
Once again, congratulations to our Teachers of the Year!! Thank you for all you do to make Tenaha ISD great!
