We are so excited to announce that our Teacher of the Year is Monica Speyrer! For the past 16 years at “The City,” Mrs. Speyrer has inpired thousands of Yellow Jacket students to love learning, especially when it comes to geography and government. From her AP Human Geography course to the Youth and Government club, Mrs. Speyrer, gives 110% to our school, and we are so thankful she calls Byrd her home! 💜💛

*Thank you to our PTSA for supporting our teachers and students through this special presentation.

Amazing!

Congratulations from class of '57. My diploma prepared me for degree at LSU and a long career in journalism. Our dear teachers Betty Harrell and Mamie Rushing Breazelle quite literally changed my life with help from Assistant Principal Charles Ravenna. I was also fortunate to experience the leadership of that force of nature, Principal Grover Kauffman . So happy to see the mandate for excellence is alive and well. Wishing you continued success! B.
