Teacher Spotlight – Mrs. Tanya Hammett teaches English II, English IV and is the dual credit English monitor at Timpson High School. This is her first year to teach at THS and she has 21 years teaching experience. Mrs. Hammett enjoys the respectful, family atmosphere at Timpson ISD. She says the faculty, staff and students welcomed her here as though she had been a Timpson Bear all along. She is a junior class sponsor and will be the THS cheerleader sponsor for the 2017-2018 school year. Mrs. Hammett said she became a teacher because of the influence two of her teachers had on her. Mrs. Freeman and Mr. Pirtle influenced her to become a teacher not only because of how they taught but also on the impact these two educators had on her life. She realized that by becoming a teacher not only could she teach them English but she could also help shape her students to be the kind of adults they would become. Mrs. Hammett says she always keeps in mind what she was like when she was her students’ age and relates to them in a way that helps her build relationships and trust with her students. Mrs. Hammett is an excellent example of the saying, “Students don’t’ care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” Mrs. Hammett’s dedication to her students shows how much she cares. She stresses to her students how important it is to learn to read. Reading is essential for success in all subjects and is truly a necessary life-long skill. She also said that if a student can read, they will be able to write. As a child, Mrs. Hammett did not have the opportunity to travel extensively but she said through reading she was able to visit and see places around the world. She hopes to provide these same opportunities for her students. Mrs. Hammett has a warm caring personality while at the same time having high standards for her students. We thank you Mrs. Hammett for all you do for our students.
