“I love working for the Osceola School District because it has given me the
opportunity to work as a
Drama teacher and has given me the wings to spread my knowledge. I have worked for
the district
since
2009 and at Boggy Creek Elementary since 2010. I enjoy working at Boggy Creek
Elementary because I
have had the opportunity to work with different administrators who love the Fine
Arts Program,
especially Drama. The faculty supports the program and we work together to
collaborate. I also have
the pleasure to facilitate students with the tools to inspire them to continue a
career in Fine
Arts.”
“...everyone that I have encountered has shown kindness and passion for not only
student success but
teacher success as well. Thank you Osceola School District for being my “home away
from home” where
I feel supported in everyway.”
“...I am a newer teacher with just 3 years under my belt. I did my educational
studies and student
teaching in Massachusetts and moved to Florida immediately afterwards. I was lucky
to have been
hired by Osceola School Districts to teach at Boggy Creek Elementary School. This
was my first
teaching experience ever, and as a brand-new teacher it was nerve wracking walking
into a brand-new
situation, but I found that I was quickly surrounded by coworkers and administration
that truly
cared and wanted me to succeed. If you want a school district that will truly help
you grow as an
Educator and help foster your own unique teaching style, come check out Osceola
School District.”
“...I’m a product of Osceola County Schools! I had the pleasure of attending
Michigan Avenue Elementary, St. Cloud Middle and graduated from St. Cloud High. I
have loved being able to work along side former teachers and have continued to learn
from them. Not only do I work for the school district, but my husband does as well,
our son attends my school, and our daughter will before we know it, too. I love that
as an educator it allows me to be a professional and an involved mother because our
district leaders value family. However, what I love the most, is that during a
global pandemic, I get to be a part of such an amazing group of educators that have
stepped up to go above and beyond to provide the students of our county some
normalcy and love during an extremely stressful time. It makes me so proud that I
call Osceola County home.”
