Here's one can you name you elementary school, teachers and principal?


Recommended Posts

K--Calvary Baptist School ; ?

1- Centre County Christian Academy; ?

2- A Beka Correspondence School

3 & 4-- Tarrytown Christian; Mrs. Orton

5- Calvary Baptist School (A different Calvary Baptist than K) and Hallstead Christian Academy; ?

6-10 -- Faith Baptist School; variety of teachers

11-12 -- homeschool

 

Don't remember any principals much. I never liked any of my teachers except the first teacher I had for two months in 5th grade before we moved again. She was kind to me. My 5th grade teacher after we moved was *awful* and mean.

 

And, btw, I hated being homeschooled also.

k- Miss Good(i think it was Miss, but not sure) then we moved and I can't remember my 2nd K teachers name.

1st Mrs. Kimple (loved her)

2nd Mrs. Matson (neutral)

3rd Mr. Gates (favorite teacher ever, he moved up to Jr. High math and I took him for both 7th and 8th grade math)

4th Mrs. Banks (didn't like her) for the first quarter and then they added another 4th grade class and i was thankfully moved to Mrs. Johnson's class.

5th Mrs. Imle (tyrant), we also had a student teacher that year but i cannot remember her name.

6th Mrs. Johnson again

The music teacher 4-6th was Mrs. Bird and PE was Mr. Salo (he was an alcoholic)

 

ETA: I can't remember the principal's name for K-3rd, but 4-6th was Mr. Broderick (he was cool).

I have a terrible short-term memory; but for some reason, I can remember this...

 

Principal - Mr. Walk

K - Mrs. Oseman

1 - Mrs. Catlin

2 - Mrs. House

3 - Mrs. Eastman

4 - Mrs. Terry

5 - Mrs. Ammons (different school for this one year)

Had too many teachers for 7th-12th because of the changing classes, but I'm pretty sure I could remember them all.

I went to Moore Street Elementary School. My teachers in grades 1-6 were:

 

1. Miss Buchan

2. Mrs. Brown

3. Mrs. Minton

4. Mrs. Scarborough

5. Mrs. Cantera & Mrs. Fincher

6. Mrs. Rountree & Mrs. Brown (a different Mrs. Brown from my 2nd grade teacher) -- This one left mid-year and was replaced by Mrs. Murphy.

 

The first principal I had was Mrs. Horne, but she reitred when I was in 4th grade, and was replaced by Miss Jones. The librarian was Mrs. Mercer, who she was replaced by Mrs. May when I was in 5th grade. The janitor's name was Mr. Pooler.

Gosh... I remember quite a few... not all of them, though

 

Neosho Heights Elementary

Principal - Don't remember other than he was a "tall" (to a youngster, everyone's tall) broad man with dark hair

K - Mrs. Gott. Her son Colby was in my class and her younger son Levi was in my sister's class

1 - Mrs. Franklin

2 - Mrs. Preston

3 - Miss Hofer, and to this DAY I despise that woman. I would much rather have been in Mrs. Ross' class, but the rumor was that she didn't really want me in her class because she had my father had dated (before he was married to my mother, of course) and it had apparently ended badly.

 

Changed schools between 3rd and 4th grade.

 

Lone Star Elementary

Principal - Mr. Pritz, who is still the principal

Vice-principal - Mr. Turner, the dad of one of the boys in my class. His wife was (is) a preschool teacher there, and his wife's brother was (is) the band instructor.

4 - Miss Mears for most subjects and Mr. Whaley for spelling; Mr. Robertson for band

5-8 - We started switching classes in fifth grade. My homeroom teacher in 5th was Mrs. Henderson. Other notable teachers from those years include:

*Mr. Robertson, the band teacher, as mentioned. He was also the drum line instructor at the high school at the time

*Mrs. McCutcheon, social studies, whom I ran into a few years ago and discovered she is now a nurse (I was in preop with my son when I found this out)

*Mrs. Grant, the English teacher

*Mrs. Carver, the science teacher who was my mother's red-haired doppelganger

*Mr. Patterson, the bus driver and also the art teacher except I never took art

*Mrs. Allem, the GT teacher whose husband I met after I was in a freak car accident three years ago and he stopped to help me out

*Last but not least, Mrs. Pitts, my humanities teacher - the best teacher I've EVER had - whose husband was the superintendent of the schools in the town (excluding the one I went to which was a dependent district) and who invented the Olympitts so we could have fun while we learned. She also loved to rearrange the furniture "just to watch you walk into it because at your age, you have no motor skills!" Wonderful, wonderful teacher.

 

I don't remember any of my math teachers, nor do I recall the name of the Spanish teacher. I remember my 7th and 8th grade math teacher as having chronic halitosis and my Spanish teacher as being a red-haired Irish woman. The irony always got to me.

I can only remember my 2nd and 5th grade teachers names. I do remember my 3rd, 4th and GT teachers fondly but can't remember their names. I also remember one afterschool sitter, the jr. high math and science teachers and my jr. high spanish teacher.

Ooh, let's see. Went to Bright School in Chattanooga, TN.

 

Principal - Kirk Walker, then two people each there for a year.

didn't go to K

1st - Mrs. Davis & Mrs. Hudson

2nd - Mrs. Parker & Miss McKenzie

3rd - Mrs. Love & Mrs. Dillard

4th - Mrs. Taintor & Mr. "B" (Bullenger, iirc)

Art was Mrs. Phillips, music was Mrs. Moore. I admit I have forgotten the name of the teacher in the lovely computer lab where we learned LOGO. The library was run by Mrs. Doyle and Mrs. Cherry, though, and the most common substitute in the entire school was Mrs. Mynatt. She had realllly long hair that she braided and then put into a bun. Funny how that made such a big impression on me!

Nope. I went to 1 school for K and gr 1. I don't remember my K teacher or principal there but my gr 1 teacher was Mrs. Fair.

 

Then I went to a different school for gr 2-9. We went through 3 principals so I don't remember them. Gr 2 I had 1 teacehr who then went on sick leave and ended up with Mrs. Smithson (aka shedevil), I missed a good chunk of that year due to illness. Gr 3 was Mr Hankinson. Gr 4 was Mr Todd in the morning and Mrs Smithson(shedevil) in the afternoon. Gr 5 was Mrs. Stefaniak(sp?), she was my favorite teacher and the only decent one I ever had at that school, the rest should have never been allowed near children, it was very evident they hated them with all they had. Gr 6 I don't remember his actual name, I called him the sadist, He thrilled at making us copy out page 200 of the dictionary for any perceived infraction-I had to do it once for sneezing while he was lecturing. Gr 7-9 we had multiple teachers depending on subject, Mrs. Hopchin we had for gr 7 home room (my sisters class 2 years later caused her to have a nervous breakdown and she never returned).Mr. Grant taught french, Mr strem taught social studies, Mrs. L was Lang arts. I forget the names of my science, home ec, IA, and computer teachers.

Muskego Elementary in Muskego WI

I can't remember the teachers name but it was a weird class they had a few too many 4th and 5th graders for the teachers they had but not enough to warrant hiring a teacher for each grade so they put us both in one room and called us a "Split" class where the teacher had to split her time between the 2 grades throughout the day.

 

6 Bay Lane Middle School Muskego WI

Mr. Shulteis, who was my favorite teacher of all time and who I kept in touch with until my high school graduation.

I went to school in a small town in Florida with basically the same people from K-12 - the only school in town.

 

Port St. Joe Elementary School

 

Principal - Mr. Harrison

K - Aunt Bell

1st - Mrs. Barlow

2nd - Mrs. Anchors

I ran into my Kindergarten teacher about 10 years ago (and she was old when I was in K) in the hospital. I was with my mom while she was having some tests made and Aunt Bell was in the same waiting area. She told the man next to her, "This is Tammy from my class of 1968." What a memory.

The only ones I remember is the 6th grade teachers at Fort Stewart Elementary School. My teacher's name was Mrs. Floyd and the other 6th grade teacher was Mr. Golden. Mrs. Floyd paddled me with a ruler and Mr. Golden had a home made paddle in the front of the class with holes in it.

I think I don't remember my other teachers is because I went to 8 different schools from K - 12 in 5 states and 2 countries.

I don't remember one teacher's name. :001_smile:

 

I remember one.

 

I attended Ft. Rucker (AL) Primary for K-2. Don't remember the teachers, but do remember in K it was a big room with four different classrooms in it. Very open. I remember them being surprised that I could write my name when I entered, and sent me to the office to show everyone.

 

Ft. Rucker Elementary was 3-6. My 3rd grade teacher was Ms. Lee, who married at the end of the year and became Mrs. Parker. I remember her, because she brought in her fiance, and I told my friends I'd "faint" if he was fine. He wasn't, but I did anyway, since I had opened my mouth, and Ms. Lee was my favorite teacher :tongue_smilie:. I also remember this school because at one point, I had to wear a large pair of lips around my neck for the day because I talked a lot. I don't think I attended 6th grade here though.

 

I attended some school in Oh (waiting for housing in Germany) when I was in 7th grade. It had to be 7th grade, I think. Maybe it was 6th, but I don't think I spent 3 years in Nurnberg) I won a speech contest, but never got my trophy because I moved to Germany.

 

8th-9th was at Nurnberg American High School. It no longer exists :sad:. Lots of memories there. Except I don't remember the teachers. I do remember Rocky, the gummi store, and the gyros stand.

 

10th-12th was in Copperas Cove, TX. Oh! I remember Mr. Pollard. He was an English teacher, and I talked him into believing in me. I liked him; a little dry, but very nice. I liked another teacher- 12th grade sponsor, I spent lots of detentions in her classroom (for chewing gum, it kept me from talking, generally :lol:). I can't remember her name, but I recognize her when I see her picture in my yearbook.

 

Lots of memories- few names.

He died of AIDS when I was in my 20's. He was my favorite high school teacher because in spite of all the little jerks (boys mostly) that made fun of him, he was the kindest teacher I ever had and when my friend, who was also one of his students, killed herself over Christmas break he was the only one who asked me how I was doing.
