Shelby Reagan teaches science at Spearman High School (SHS) and is the yearbook sponsor.
“Mrs. Reagan can be seen at many of the school events whether cheering on the students or taking a few pictures for the yearbook. Speaking of yearbook, Mrs. Reagan is the coordinator for the yearbook, and this is no simple task. She is meticulous in her planning and is responsible for coordinating the chaos during picture day,” shared James Layman, SHS principal.
Her leadership skills come naturally. “Mrs. Reagan is a leader on the Spearman High School campus. She is always present, maintains a high level of professionalism, and collaborates with her peers. She provides her students with an engaging classroom environment, strives to create a lifelong love for learning, and still maintains high expectations for all of her students,” added Layman.
Reagan serves as a representative on the Teacher’s Voice committee. “While many in the profession have to work years to become a great teacher, Mrs. Reagan does so quite naturally,” stated Layman.
Congratulations on a job well done!

Adriana Mendoza is the ELAR teacher for 7th grade at Spearman Junior High. She also teaches one section of 6th grade ELAR.
“Adriana has been a great team player since she came to Spearman. She taught 8th grade when she first came here and has since moved to 7th grade. She has been willing to help out where there are needs,” shared Spearman Junior High Principal, Craig Black.
Sharing ideas with coworkers and staying organized is an effective trait in an educator. Black commented, “Adriana is always willing to share ideas with her coworkers. She is very constructive in PLC planning time to share what is working in her classroom. She also volunteered to coach on the UIL academic team,” added Black.
Spearman ISD’s theme for this school year is Building Relationships. “Adriana works to build relationships with the students. She always wants what is best for kids and goes above to find out what their needs are. She truly has a good heart for her students. Adriana is good at looking for new ways to reach students whether it be with curriculum or instructional strategies,” shared Black.
Black smiled and stated, “Adriana always comes to work with a smile on her face and is energetic with her students.”

Christa Turner teaches fifth grade at Gus Birdwell Elementary (GBE). She is the UIL coordinator for GBE. “When I asked Christa if she would consider being the UIL coordinator, she immediately agreed. The UIL coordinator has to be organized and well prepared. She put in a lot of time and energy organizing coaches, teams, paperwork, buses, and many other things,” shared Alexis Beck, GBE principal. It takes a great deal of time coordinating the teams, students, and staff with the many different events in UIL. Beck added, “Christa spent many hours communicating with Bushland and getting the campus prepared to compete. One thing I love about Christa is that she is always looking to do better. We competed all day on Friday. Saturday morning by 8:30 am, I had an email including ways that we could do better next year, things to remember, and general notes for UIL.”
“Christa is also a great classroom teacher. She stepped into some big shoes when she took over 5th grade math and has done an excellent job. She pushes her students to do their best and holds them accountable while constantly working to better herself,” stated Beck.
Teacher responsibilities do not stop after the last bell of the day. “Many days after school, you will find her in her classroom working with a small group of students who need extra help. You might also see Christa working the gate at football and basketball games or volunteering to work Saturday school for the junior high. Christa is a true asset to GBE,” commented Beck.
Congratulations on a job well done!
