Eva Guardiola, LISD foreign language coordinator, 34 years in education and 34 years in LISD Memorable moment: "Back in the early eighties, we had an hour for lunch at LHS. I left campus with another teacher to have lunch, and I locked my keys in the car. We got a ride back to school from the restaurant manager so that we wouldn't be late to class. I told Minnie LaFuentes (principal's secretary) what had happened. About 45 minutes into class, Mr. Rouse showed up at my door with my car keys. He went, found my car and brought it back for me!"
Marsha Tomlinson, Leander High School family consumer science teacher, 42 years in education and 37 years in LISD Memorable moment: "The relationships and laughter with my students; teaching them not just cooking and nutrition, but about being the best person God intended them to be; loving them through their "high school crazy" stages; letting them "have it" when they got out of line; loving it when they bought into my "queen" delusion; reading and re-reading the little notes they gave me; getting to know some really fine teachers who shared a love of kids, etc., etc. The 37 years I spent here have been the BEST. I hope every teacher coming up through the ranks can experience the same. The key is to just love your little darlings into shape!"
Sarah Hyde, LISD coordinator of advanced/gifted programs, 30 years in education and 25 years in LISD Memorable moment: "My most precious memories of LISD will always be my years spent with QUEST students and QUEST colleagues."
