This weeks alumni spotlight is Barb Gordan '01!
It would be hard to choose just one specific memory from high school that would be my favorite. Some of my best memories would include singing in Art class with Jamie Morris and Terrance Weinzierl, playing basketball, softball, drama productions, chorus and our Pep Assemblies. I also enjoyed being an office aide for Ms. Boots Carr. She always pushed me to do my very best.
My favorite class would have to be Drama with Mr. Taylor. He always made class so fun. He encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones during activities. It was in this class new friendships were created that carried on through life.
If i could give any advice to students it would be to always keep an open mind about your future. Sometimes just taking risks, and trying new things, can change your original plan. That's ok!! Find your passion no matter how long it may take and always be kind to yourself and others.
After Highschool I attended a nurse aide training program and began working for Adult Learning Systems. A short time later I was given the opportunity to be a substitute aide at Rudyard Elementary through the EUPISD. I have now been with them for about twenty years. My days are split between our Learning Center in Kincheloe and Rudyard. I am responsible for bringing our students to inclusion classes at Rudyard. How great it is to be a part of both schools and be witness to all students' achievements as well as working with some pretty great educators. I have the best job and you have the best kiddos!
