Mrs. Lynn Perry was nominated Teacher of the Year from Saluda
High School, and was then selected as District Teacher for
2006-2007.
Mrs. Perry stated in her portfolio that being an educator is an
important, challenging, and rewarding career. "I grew up around
educators and the school-talk. Teaching was an easy choice for me. I
have an extreme love for people and children." The joy of teaching
is evident by the drive and enthusiasm that Mrs. Perry displays in
her classroom where she teaches mathematics to students in grades
9-12. "Most students lack personal confidence in math, but by the
end of the course, they generally change their minds as they develop
better mathematical skills. This is the joy of teaching with a
measurable outcome," added Mrs. Perry.
Aside from teaching mathematics, Mrs. Perry serves as trainer and
mentor for student teacher training, department chairperson, and
chairperson for the SACS review for Saluda High School. She also is
active in the community serving on different organizations,
committees and church functions.
It is her belief that education is to engage, encourage, and
praise students so that learning will develop and students will
perform. She stated, "I truly believe the following quote:" Our job
as a teacher is to make every single student feel like a winner."-
Allen Glenn.
The District extends congratulations and best wishes to Mrs.
Perry as she represents Saluda County Schools and competes for State
Teacher of the Year!
