We made it to episode 10! We are so proud to hit this milestone. We've featured over ten educators from Omaha Central High School who are doing amazing things in and out of the classroom! We aren't even close to scratching the surface of greatness with this teaching staff.
We needed a legend for episode 10, so we brought on Social Studies educator Mrs. Casey Denton. We made this episode extra special by calling upon listeners to submit their own questions. We got a diverse range of responses from current teachers, alumni, and even a few surprise audio questions from important people in Mrs. Dentons life.
Denton exemplifies the concept that Central is one huge family. She is the daughter of former Principal Dr. Bigsby, married to alumni Will Denton, and an alumni herself! She is the assistant soccer coach for the girls team and the sponsor for Athletic Academic Tutoring. Listeners describe her as their second mom, an asset to the Central community, and the reason why I wanted to teach at Central.
We appreciate everyone who has tuned in throughout this process and cant wait to continue this work! Share this and any episode/s with people from the Central Family!
