"It is so great to look back and remember being a student that adored her teachers and now know that I have students looking up to me in the same way. It is such a wonderful experience to work in the building that I attended from kindergarten to sixth grade!"

"I have always loved the relationships and connections formed with teachers and students in Sterling Public Schools. Coming back and teaching in the same district I graduated from has allowed me to continue these relationships and connections. It is such a neat experience to teach some of the children of my former teachers, as well as to teach alongside some of my former teachers. SPS was always a comfortable place for me as a student, and it continues to provide that same comfort as a staff member."
