"I love teaching in Bixby Public Schools because it is the heart of the community. I meet so many kids and families at school that really make me feel like an integral part of the city. Families with school-aged children in Bixby Public Schools often choose to stay in Bixby from elementary school through high school graduation because of the many opportunities offered through Bixby Public Schools. Having taught many siblings of prior students, I easily connect with several families in Bixby. Parents, students, principals, and teachers really make life-long relationships through the schools. It is an honor to work for this district and an absolute pleasure teaching Bixby’s kids!"
