Congratulations to Ms. Scott: Employee of the Month for June! We are thrilled to announce that Ms. Scott has been recognized as our Employee of the Month for June. With over 30 plus years of dedicated service at our school, she has truly become a cornerstone and an integral part of our educational community. As a math teacher, Ms. Scott’s passion for the subject is contagious. Her classroom is a place where students initially enter with trepidation about tackling new concepts, yet they leave with a profound understanding and appreciation for mathematics. Her ability to make complex ideas accessible and engaging transforms their fear into excitement, and her students consistently walk away enriched with knowledge. Beyond her role in the classroom, Ms. Scott is actively involved in our school community. She has contributed significantly to our volleyball program as a coach, showcasing her commitment to fostering teamwork and sportsmanship among students. Additionally, she lends her support during sporting events by managing the game clock and proudly singing the national anthem. It is impossible to speak about Calais High School without mentioning Ms. Scott’s name. Her unwavering dedication to both her students and the broader school community makes her an invaluable asset, and we are incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our team. Please join me in celebrating her achievements and contributions to our school!
