Mrs. Montgomery wins PHM Impact Award

Teachers whose students have seen significant First Semester growth, achieving individual improvement on their formative assessments over time, are being recognized with the P-H-M Impact Award. It’s quite an honor, and surprise, to receive this award.

Today Superintendent Dr. Jerry Thacker visited Prairie Vista Elementary School to congratulate 1^st grade teacher Rose Montgomery. 

Principal Dr. Keely Twibell helped Dr. Thacker surprise Mrs. Montgomery as she was teaching class. 

Mrs. Montgomery had 100% average or higher growth on DIBELS; that’s 82% with accelerated growth!

While all P-H-M teachers across the district are dedicated to helping their students achieve personal academic success, we are especially proud of Mrs. Montgomery and the other teacher Impact Award winners.

The Impact Awards were first handed out in September 2023 to teachers with the most significant overall student growth during the 2022-2023 school year.

Thank you to the P-H-M Education Foundation for covering the cost of the awards for purchasing the beautiful crystal awards given to the teacher award recipients.
