Next week is Teacher’s Appreciation Week. Journal Country is filled with amazing teachers. One notable group teaching at Britton-Hecla is the large number of alumni that is on staff. 15 certified staff members are former Britton or B-H graduates. These include, pictured, front row, Carrie James, Sheila Anderson, Jenna Peters, Kelly Mills, & Stephanie Symens.

Britton Hecla teacher Hailey Stiegelmeier is a 2015 B-H graduate. She is part of a significant trend of local alumni who have come ‘home’ to teach. Pictured here, Stiegelmeier works with student Hayden Peters.
Once Students And Now The Teachers
“I can’t imagine teaching or raising my children anywhere else,” emphasized Britton-Hecla English teacher Jenna Peters. Peters said this when discussing why she chose to teach in the school district she graduated from 20 years ago. She and many others in the district are part of a noteworthy trend of Britton and Britton-Hecla graduates who have returned to the area as educators.
