Tennessee Teacher of the Year Candidate

Congratulations to Katie Bruketta, Northwest Tennessee CORE region Teacher of the Year. She is now a top 9 finalist and will be moving forward to compete for West Tennessee Teacher of the Year as well as Tennessee Teacher of the Year. As a CORE level winner, she is now a member of the Commissioner's Education Advisory Board for the next year. She, along with 8 other finalists, will now go through an interview process, and then all finalists will be recognized at an honorary banquet in the fall, where the grand division teachers of the year and the state-wide teacher of the year will be announced.

Mrs. Bruketta has been teaching since 2003, and has been a member of the Peabody staff since 2004. She teaches English I, ACT Preparation, and AP Human Geography. She is also active in the school community, serving as the high school's student council advisor.

Mrs. Bruketta states, "It is an honor to be recognized for the hard work you do. I am excited to have an opportunity to represent my school, my students, and my community this year, and this award could not have happened if I hadn't had a lot of great teachers, mentors, support in my life along the way. This award is not really mine, but it is a culmination of all the people who have helped mold me into the teacher I am today. 
 

COVID-19 Lost Instructional Time for PHS Students in the Spring

The COVID-19 has created some inconveniences for all of us, but we should all do our best to see the positives which have been created! Here at Peabody, we have been concerned for the lost instruction time in late spring of the previous school year. To close the gap with untaught standards, we are creating a ZERO PERIOD! This class will be conducted from 6:45 am - 7:45 am every day until September 18. The classes we are planning to offer are Geometry  and Algebra II. These courses will encompass the standards which were not taught due to the shutdown in addition to course - specific ACT standards. Our rising seniors will take the ACT on September 22nd. 

The course is free for any student who wishes to enroll. Please email Ms. Cooksey, if you would like additional information. We will begin enrolling students for the course at Open House!

Other important dates:

• July 22   2:00pm - 6:00pm:    Registration for students who are new to TSSD
