Back in 2002, a Smithville High School senior was putting in the work during weights class — curling the bar and building strength one rep at a time.
Did you ever take weights in high school?

✨WARRIOR SHOUT-OUT✨
"Kevin deserves a HUGE shout out from Maple Elementary because he spent a majority of a morning fixing our building laminator. Most people wouldn't realize the outrageous costs associated with servicing a machine like that, but those kinds of repairs can really drain a school's budget. Our laminator is a necessity to making sure students projects and awards are preserved and is used multiple times throughout the school day. We truly appreciate that Kevin was willing to use his skills and knowledge for the benefit our entire school!"

"Rochelle is the type of teacher you want for your own child. She comes in each day and meets each student where they are. Her love and grace, which she extends to every student, are evident in her class family. She has created an incredible class community where every student is heard and seen, not just by her, but by one another. Her ELA lessons are incredibly creative and engaging. She took on a challenging unit, such as poetry, and transformed her classroom into a coffee shop where students could share their creations. Each day, her lessons bring the text to life for her students. For these reasons and many more, Rochelle Sinclair is truly an Ultimate Warrior!"

"Jerad Luke operates out of the main gym of the high school on a daily basis and has done an amazing job navigating the challenges of the construction project. His classroom is constantly interrupted or changed and yet he always presents a positive attitude and doesn't let the difficulties impact his day. Coach Luke has been an ultimate warrior this year and we appreciate him and what he does for our students."

Her classroom is a place where every child feels loved, safe, and supported—an environment that allows young learners to flourish both academically and emotionally.

Her students know they are valued, and that sense of security empowers them to take risks, try new things, and grow with confidence.
Ali’s commitment extends far beyond her own classroom. She is a true team player—collaborative, reliable, and generous with her time and resources.

Whether offering guidance to a fellow teacher, planning with her grade-level team, or helping colleagues troubleshoot challenges, Ali consistently demonstrates a spirit of openness and support.
