It’s School Board Appreciation Month, and today we’re introducing you to Board Member Dustin Mackie! As Board President, Dustin brings a blend of leadership, foresight, and a love for the community to every meeting.
The Numbers Guy
Dustin is a true math enthusiast! He loved Math in school and hasn’t put the calculator down since—he still spends most of his day crunching numbers in his head.
The Lunchroom Legend
If he could bring back one classic school meal for a day, Dustin is going straight for the comfort food: Steak fingers and mashed potatoes.
Throwback Dustin
In high school, Dustin was always on the move. You could find him on the football field, in the theater department, or participating in Ag—basically anything that kept him active and involved!
Hidden Talents
When he’s not busy leading board meetings or chasing his kids around, Dustin is a wizard in the kitchen. He loves to cook for his family and, when he finds a spare moment, hits the court for a game of pickleball.
Board Meeting Superpower
Dustin’s chosen superpower is Precognition (Seeing the Future). Why? So he could ensure every choice made by the board is the perfect decision for the district’s future!
Thank you, Dustin, for your leadership and your dedicated service to our students!

It’s School Board Appreciation Month, and today we’re getting to know Board Member Karla Flowers! Now in her second year on the board, Karla brings a creative eye and a teacher’s heart to everything she does for Spearman.
• The School Days: Karla’s favorite subject was English. She’s put that passion to work professionally, using her degree every day to craft compelling advertisements.
• The "Throwback" Craving: Forget the main course—Karla is all about the bread! If she could bring back one school lunch, it would be those legendary homemade hot rolls.
• Where to find her in HS: You’d likely find Karla in the gym! A lifelong lover of basketball, she originally came to Spearman as a coach. But her talents didn't stop at the baseline; she was also a member of the band, where she played the tuba.
• Hidden Talents: Watch out on the water! Karla can officially out-fish her husband. And if you need to get someone’s attention from across the field, she’s got a famously loud whistle.
• Board Meeting Superpower: Karla’s dream superpower is the ultimate leadership tool: the ability to instantly see the future impact of every decision. She’s always thinking about the long-term consequences and the best path forward for our students.
Thank you, Karla, for your dedication, your vision, and your service to our schools!

As we continue celebrating School Board Appreciation Month, we’re sitting down with Anne Marie Pearson to learn more about her journey from the Ag Shop to the board table!
The School Days
Favorite Subject: English.
The Career Connection: Today, Anne Marie wears many hats as a Business Manager, where those literacy skills come in handy. "Communication is essential!"
The Lunchroom Craving: Bernice's Enchiladas. A local legend that clearly left a lasting impression!
Where to Find Her
In high school, Anne Marie wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. You could almost always find her in the Ag Shop, working on projects and learning the ropes.
The Board Meeting Superpower
To help navigate those long meetings, Anne Marie has a two-fold wish for a superpower:
The Power: Concise Communication (because she admits, "I can never keep an answer short!") and Predictive Wisdom.
The Why: "To know the answer before I asked it—no one would know what I was thinking and I could sit quietly."
Hidden Talents
Think you know everything about our board members? Think again! Anne Marie is a true cowgirl at heart.
The Hobby: She loves to ride horses.
The Skills: She’s still out there in the thick of it, helping her husband gather cattle whenever the need arises!
Thank you, Anne Marie, for your dedication to our schools and for bringing your "can-do" Ag Shop spirit to our district!
