K-Ms. Sheldon
1st- Ms.Morgan, this was the year we went on the field trip to the Air and Space Museum and one group got lost. The principal, Mr. Van something or another had to drive his car into DC to find them as the buses had to get back to make the high school run. This was before cell phones, so paging them over the intercom was the only recourse. The teacher stayed at the museum, while the rest of us went back to school.
2nd-Ms. Wakefield, but I switched to Ms. Zinn for Reading and Ms. Phillips for Math
3rd- Mr. Willon, who wore a bow-tie and drove a VW Van, but switched to Mr. Bernstein for Math and Reading
4th- Ms. Heiss, who switched to fifth grade the next year, I had reading with her, and did a special study for math with a group of fifth graders with Ms. Levene
5th-Mr. Ortega, but I switched to Ms. Goodier's class for reading (where we simply read and discussed the classics) and Ms. Heiss for math, where I did independent study
I changed schools between 2nd and 3rd grades, as we moved about 8 miles to a bigger house. The new principal was Mr. Morningstar.

No, I've forgotten the name of my Gr. 5 teacher. I went to 4 elementary schools, though, and have also forgotten the name of the school in Vallejo. However, if we were to define elementary school the way they do around here (K-4) I can. But my home town was so small back then that if I did, it would also give away my maiden name to anyone from that place and time, and that's TMI!!! Guess I'm a bit like PairieAir on that one.

Mogadore, Ohio - can't remember the school - outside of Akron
Kindergarten - Mrs. Ritzman (she wouldn't let me button, zip, and tie on the demonstration board on the same day. I just wanted to get all that silly stuff out of the way!)
First Grade - Mrs. Zufall
Second Grade - Mrs. Carter ? not as sure
Third Grade - Mrs. Dockus
Manchester, CT - Keeney Street Elementary
Fourth Grade - Mrs. Sadie
Fifth Grade - (I can picture her - but can't remember)
Sixth Grade - Mr. Norman - I never went out for recess that year. He let me and my friend Kathleen stay inside and organize his library. All. Year. Long. And I loved it!! Scary!!!
Very funny - my music teacher was Mrs. Torns - and years, later, my husband did a teacher-inservice training for the Manchester school system and she was in the class - and remembered me! Very, very funny -
Thanks for spurring a trip down memory lane!

I can name:
Elementary: Lomie G. Heard (Las Vegas), Pine Grove (Valdosta), Lakewood(St. Pete)
Middle: Bay Point
High: Lakewood High, Boca Ceiga (Both St. Pete)
In elementary: Mrs Cuddles was my piano teacher(Pine Grove)
In Middle: Mr. Day was my geo/history teacher (had a huge port wine stain, that's how I remember him), Mrs. Marshiek was not only MY PE teacher, but my mother's when she taught at the high school.
In High school: Most of my teachers also taught both my mom and dad: Mrs. Figueroa taught spanish, and I had a math and english teacher whose names I can't remember. But then I had Mr. Cartisano who was another english teacher and Mrs Palmer, english--both of whom I adored.
I do remember Mr. LeBoss and Mrs. Patenaud though--Dean of Boys and Girls. Wonder why? :)

I will try....
I cannot remember k-2nd grade. I lived with my dad then, I am sure I must have gone to school, but I cannot remember anything. I met my mother at the end of 2nd grade (I definately remember that) and during the summer between 2nd and 3rd grade we lived in lawyer's offices and courtrooms and she won. I remember almost everything after Mom got custody of me. (The brain is a weird organ isn't it, the way it chooses what to keep and what to forget to protect us maybe?)
3rd grade---Aurora, ILL, can't recall the school name or principal, but my teacher was Mrs. Tuer. I loved her, absolutely loved her.
4th grade---Lake Road Elementary in Poplar Bluff, MO, Mrs. Schweitzer. She was prone to play favorites and she used a lot of public humiliation to handle students. She made fun of my handwriting (it is bad, but still) and made me very self-conscious.
5th grade---Lake Road Elementary in Poplar Bluff, MO, Mrs. Hammonds. She was the perfect "old school" type of teacher. She was incredibly dedicated, firm, very high standards, always kind, always fair, always completely engaged. Do they make them like her anymore?
6th---Kinion Elementary, Poplar Bluff, MO, Mrs. (oops, it will come to me later). Another "old school" type of teacher. See the description of Mrs. Hammonds above EXCEPT add the following, she would close the blinds on the last day of school before Christmas and the last day of school before Easter and read the Bible to us. She would also rebel against the "new" policies of our school district that disallowed class parties. She had some "learning something or other" title for parties, a code word of sorts. We had parties galore. We had a monthly birthday party, we partied for every holiday, we partied when we met academic goals. We partied and partied and partied. I loved her and as soon as I lay down tonight her name is going to pop into my head!
Then I went to Poplar Bluff Junior High and then Poplar Bluff Sr. High where all love of learning was destroyed, not to be restored until 1990, when I looked at my little guy, I looked at the state of education in Tennessee at the time, I looked at the tuition costs for the good private schools, and I realized that God would strengthen me if I would just obey and keep the little guy home.

6 - no clue
Jr high - nothing except that I went to Mellon Jr. High
High School - Mt. Lebanon HS (Pgh, PA)
Mr. Mannion - neighbor and French teacher
Mr. ??? - social studies - he was the perfect stereotype of everything bad about the late 70's - blech
High School - Columbian HS (Maplewood, NJ)
Mr. Kline - AP History - hands down the best teacher I ever had
Mrs. Wolff - AP Physcis - she was awesome and so much fun

K - some wierd lady whose name started with a "K" - Mary C. Williams in Wilmington, NC
1 - Mrs. Jones at the same school, then someone else at Hyde Park Elementary in Hyde Park, OH

6 - Landmark Christian Academy near Cincinnati, OH - Mrs. Rawlings (incidently, she passed away last year and I heard about it through an email from the evangelist guy from Liberty University?)
After that it's confusing - I started 7th grade at Walnut Hills High in Cincinnati, OH, transferred to Silver Sands Middle School in Daytona Beach, FL, then back to Walnut Hills. Eighth grade was at Githens in Durham, NC. Ninth grade was Jordan High School in Durham then Chapel Hill High in Chapel Hill, NC. I started 10th at Riverside High in Durham, NC then changed to Northwood in Pittsboro, NC. I went BACK to Jordan in Durham for 11th, but lasted less than a month.
I am a high school drop out! LOL But I do have BS in Psychology and part of a MBA...:D
ETA: I don't have a CLUE who the principals were!

York Elementary, Jamestown, Tennessee
Principals changed. Mr. Upchurch and Mr. Jack ______. Can't recall which was first.
Teachers? Miss Erna Whitlow, K and first. My mom pulled me to attend school with her during second and third grades (Sunbright, TN) and my teachers were the Starr sisters, twins, Bobbie and Billie. Came back to York for fourth grade and had a teacher who spoiled me and lavished me with attention: Miss Taylor. Next year, sour old Mrs. Delk burst my bubble. Miss Edith for sixth and her crazy sister, Miss Ella for eighth - but Wow! did they try to give us a good, rounded education with the little they had available to them, resource wise. My seventh grade teacher, Mrs. Hall, was absent almost the entire year due to her husband being in a very severe crash of an eighteen wheeler and almost dying. We had a never ending succession of non-memorable substitutes who taught us absolutely nothing all year long. Oh, and that reminds me, we had a third principal by that time, and I can see his face now, talking to us, but I can't recall his name, hmmmmmmm......
Wow, I can't believe I remember all of that because I am really OLD, LOL.....

I'm a little envious of all of you who only attended one elementary school. I attended five different schools K-5th.
Glenmont Elementary (OH)
K- Mrs. Lymon
1st - Mrs. Koontz
Winterset Elementary (OH)
2nd - ???
Kenwood Elementary (OH)
3rd - ???
Lynn Road Elementary (NC)
3rd -
4th - Mrs. Gregory and Mrs. Marshall
5th -
Washington Elementary (OH)
5th - Mrs. Cushman
I wouldn't have a clue what the principals' names were, except for the one at Glenmont Elementary. That was Mr. O'Brien. One of the reasons I homeschool is because I didn't want my kids to have to switch schools all the time like I did.
Groveport Elementary, 1971-1977
K-Mrs. Smith
1-Mrs. Sedwick
2-Mrs. Martin
3-Mrs. Miller****(Best teacher in the history of teachers!)
4-Mrs. Weston
5-Mrs. Ostrander***(Close second to Mrs. Miller)
I know the music teacher was Mrs. Fougt for many of the years; have no idea about the art teachers.
Principals? I remember a Mr. Tussing and Mr. Stevenson (only because he had dated my aunt in high school), but I don't remember which years, and I know there were others.

I went to elementary schools in the following places: Barksdale AFB, Louisiana (gr. 1), Ramstein AFB, Germany (gr. 1, 2, 3), Prattville, Alabama (gr. 4, 5) and Maxwell AFB, Alabama (gr. 6), and Montgomery, AL (gr. 7, 8).
In 1st grade, I took ballet. When I wanted to quit, my Mom let me because she had to turn left to get into the parking lot at ballet, and she was afraid to do that. She had just learned to drive and I was never overly graceful, so it worked out fine.
My 2nd grade teacher yelled at me for talking when she said we had to be quiet. I had dropped my pencil and whispered to person next to me to pick it up because I couldn't reach it. I thought it was terribly unfair. I was a Brownie and I loved wearing my brown uniform dress and beanie cap to school on meeting days. We had a Shetland Sheepdog named Silky, who we had to leave with my Grandma when we moved to Germany. He got stolen out of her yard, but my Mom told us at the time that someone had taken him to join the circus.
My 3rd grade teacher read aloud after lunch every day, alternating between Nancy Drew books and The Hardy Boys. I loved her for that. She liked our class so much she requested us for the next year and it was permitted, but we got transferred to Alabama. I said my first mean thing to someone else that year -- I told a boy he looked like a green bean. He must have been tall and thin, and I felt guilty about it for years.
Oddly, I only remember 3 things about 4th grade. The classrooms had wooden floors. The first day my sister and I came home on the bus, we couldn't remember where we lived, so we didn't get off and that caused a big brouhaha. But once we'd mastered the bus, the boys in the neighborhood would carry our books for us and walk us home -- they were such polite Southern boys. No one had backpacks back then, but boys were plentiful.
My 5th grade teacher was Mrs. Stewart (I was the teacher's pet). That year, I had a major operation and was in the hospital for 3 weeks and out of school for 6 weeks after that. Everyone in class sent me a present and I had one to open every day when I woke up in the hospital. I just loved that class and the kids in it. We had parties a lot and danced the jitterbug and the mashed potato and listened to a singing group called Herman's Hermits. That year, we got a wire-haired fox terrior named Merry Suzanne in Dixieland and I was impressed with her name, even though we called her Suzie.
My 6th grade teacher was Mrs. Logan (whom I disliked for telling me I had to sink or swim on my own in math -- like *I* would ever sink). She also made me write 50-100-150-200 times (it increased every time) "I will not talk in class". I got writer's cramp and her stock went even further down in my estimation. We had a pet robin who my mother had taught how to fly, but he wouldn't leave us (he started out as a baby with a broken wing). His name was Petey and he woke us all up singing at the crack of dawn every day. My best friend, Linda, who was to go to junior high with me, was killed in a car wreck right before 7th grade started. That ruined junior high for me, for sure.
I attended Floyd Junior High School in Montgomery in 7th and 8th grade. My biggest memory is that I hated it. Basically, I was used to the Air Force lifestyle and wasn't used to being around what we called "civilians", plus nothing was the same without my friend Linda.

I was in so many different schoos, I am afraid I am may forget some. I'll give it a try though -
K - (Greesnboro, NC) All I remember was being very jealous of the twins who wore their hair in pgitails. I would pinch them and push them down the slide. then when they cried I would comfort them and ask what was wrong. My teacher thought I was such a sweet comforting child.
1st Grade - (Greensboro, NC) Bessemer Elementary - Mrs. Broom - She was a dreadful teacher. Never did learn the children's names. Yelled often. When I finished all the readers in the school, they just had me sit in a corner and do them all again.

3rd - 5th - (Cary, NC) Farmington Woods - 3rd Mrs. Austin, 4th Mrs. "G" (Gustafson) - She started each day by having us stand on the desks and sing Karen carpenter's "Top of the World".

I was at the same school from 1st to 10th grade.There were 2 of us in my 10th grade class who had been there the whole 10 years. When I was in 10th grade, there were only about 200 students in the whole school. We always had the biggest class while I was there- about 30 students, although in 10th, there were only 10 of us, and only 2 girls. That was pretty icky, let me tell you. I *think* Mama Bear went to my school, too, a few years after me.
I think I can name them all, but I may get spelling wrong.

Yes, and I can name every teacher and every class I had all the way through high school.
It's just one of those useful skills that has enabled me to make millions!
My *favorite* weird teacher was our Spanish teacher who wore a wig, with her own hair hanging down the back (different colors of course), and knee-high nylons with miniskirts.

I don't remember the name of the principal at the school I went 1-4 at but remember it changed 3 times.
K was College Park (greendale WI)
1-4 was Canterbury (greendale WI, we moved just out of area for the other one)
1st was Mrs Kunz
2nd was Mrs Golumbeski
3rd was Mrs Graf (and my aunt was the teachers aide)
4th was Mrs Jacoby
then we moved to Muskego WI and I don't know the name of the 5th grade teacher but it was a weird year because there were a few too many kids for
4th and 5th grade so we were in what was called a Split class Half 4th grade half 5th grade.
Then it was on to Baylane middle school (Muskego WI)
6th was Mr. S that's all I remember because that's what we called him
7th and 8th we changed classes every period just like in high school and there's too many to remember
High school was Muskego HS
I remember Mr Baker who was my Geometry, Computer and Pre Calc teacher
That's about it because he was the only one that made class fun.
The weirdest thing for me is actually about dh. His highschool Biology teacher was none other than his dad. I told him there's no way I could have done that, just to weird for me.

that my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Kincaid was also my High School English Teacher. So I knew I couldn't get away with stuff. Didn't keep me from trying.
I do remember getting learning in 1st or 2nd grade that a word that I wrote was a "bad" word, can't write it here. I saw it somewhere, wrote it on the back of my paper and when asked if I wrote it, I answered yes. The teacher took me into the supply closet, told me to open my hand and swatted it.
Funny, when I look back at my Report Cards specifically, the teacher's comments, I don't remember being talkative, but apparently I was and this was a problem. My older sister said this probably was because I was the youngest from a loud family and that my voice was drowned out thus I made sure I was heard at school.

Gosh... I remember quite a few... not all of them, though
Neosho Heights Elementary
Principal - Don't remember other than he was a "tall" (to a youngster, everyone's tall) broad man with dark hair
K - Mrs. Gott. Her son Colby was in my class and her younger son Levi was in my sister's class
1 - Mrs. Franklin
2 - Mrs. Preston
3 - Miss Hofer, and to this DAY I despise that woman. I would much rather have been in Mrs. Ross' class, but the rumor was that she didn't really want me in her class because she had my father had dated (before he was married to my mother, of course) and it had apparently ended badly.
Changed schools between 3rd and 4th grade.
Lone Star Elementary
Principal - Mr. Pritz, who is still the principal
Vice-principal - Mr. Turner, the dad of one of the boys in my class. His wife was (is) a preschool teacher there, and his wife's brother was (is) the band instructor.
4 - Miss Mears for most subjects and Mr. Whaley for spelling; Mr. Robertson for band
5-8 - We started switching classes in fifth grade. My homeroom teacher in 5th was Mrs. Henderson. Other notable teachers from those years include:
*Mr. Robertson, the band teacher, as mentioned. He was also the drum line instructor at the high school at the time
*Mrs. McCutcheon, social studies, whom I ran into a few years ago and discovered she is now a nurse (I was in preop with my son when I found this out)
*Mrs. Grant, the English teacher
*Mrs. Carver, the science teacher who was my mother's red-haired doppelganger
*Mr. Patterson, the bus driver and also the art teacher except I never took art
*Mrs. Allem, the GT teacher whose husband I met after I was in a freak car accident three years ago and he stopped to help me out
*Last but not least, Mrs. Pitts, my humanities teacher - the best teacher I've EVER had - whose husband was the superintendent of the schools in the town (excluding the one I went to which was a dependent district) and who invented the Olympitts so we could have fun while we learned. She also loved to rearrange the furniture "just to watch you walk into it because at your age, you have no motor skills!" Wonderful, wonderful teacher.
I don't remember any of my math teachers, nor do I recall the name of the Spanish teacher. I remember my 7th and 8th grade math teacher as having chronic halitosis and my Spanish teacher as being a red-haired Irish woman. The irony always got to me.
I can only remember my 2nd and 5th grade teachers names. I do remember my 3rd, 4th and GT teachers fondly but can't remember their names. I also remember one afterschool sitter, the jr. high math and science teachers and my jr. high spanish teacher.

The library was run by Mrs. Doyle and Mrs. Cherry, though, and the most common substitute in the entire school was Mrs. Mynatt. She had realllly long hair that she braided and then put into a bun. Funny how that made such a big impression on me!

Nope. I went to 1 school for K and gr 1. I don't remember my K teacher or principal there but my gr 1 teacher was Mrs. Fair.
Then I went to a different school for gr 2-9. We went through 3 principals so I don't remember them. Gr 2 I had 1 teacehr who then went on sick leave and ended up with Mrs. Smithson (aka shedevil), I missed a good chunk of that year due to illness. Gr 3 was Mr Hankinson. Gr 4 was Mr Todd in the morning and Mrs Smithson(shedevil) in the afternoon. Gr 5 was Mrs. Stefaniak(sp?), she was my favorite teacher and the only decent one I ever had at that school, the rest should have never been allowed near children, it was very evident they hated them with all they had. Gr 6 I don't remember his actual name, I called him the sadist, He thrilled at making us copy out page 200 of the dictionary for any perceived infraction-I had to do it once for sneezing while he was lecturing. Gr 7-9 we had multiple teachers depending on subject, Mrs. Hopchin we had for gr 7 home room (my sisters class 2 years later caused her to have a nervous breakdown and she never returned).Mr. Grant taught french, Mr strem taught social studies, Mrs. L was Lang arts. I forget the names of my science, home ec, IA, and computer teachers.

5
Muskego Elementary in Muskego WI
I can't remember the teachers name but it was a weird class they had a few too many 4th and 5th graders for the teachers they had but not enough to warrant hiring a teacher for each grade so they put us both in one room and called us a "Split" class where the teacher had to split her time between the 2 grades throughout the day.
6 Bay Lane Middle School Muskego WI
Mr. Shulteis, who was my favorite teacher of all time and who I kept in touch with until my high school graduation.

2nd - Mrs. Anchors
3rd - Mrs. Martin

I ran into my Kindergarten teacher about 10 years ago (and she was old when I was in K) in the hospital. I was with my mom while she was having some tests made and Aunt Bell was in the same waiting area. She told the man next to her, "This is Tammy from my class of 1968." What a memory.

The only ones I remember is the 6th grade teachers at Fort Stewart Elementary School. My teacher's name was Mrs. Floyd and the other 6th grade teacher was Mr. Golden. Mrs. Floyd paddled me with a ruler and Mr. Golden had a home made paddle in the front of the class with holes in it.
I think I don't remember my other teachers is because I went to 8 different schools from K - 12 in 5 states and 2 countries.
I don't remember one teacher's name. :001_smile:

I don't remember one teacher's name. :001_smile:
I remember one.
I attended Ft. Rucker (AL) Primary for K-2. Don't remember the teachers, but do remember in K it was a big room with four different classrooms in it. Very open. I remember them being surprised that I could write my name when I entered, and sent me to the office to show everyone.
Ft. Rucker Elementary was 3-6. My 3rd grade teacher was Ms. Lee, who married at the end of the year and became Mrs. Parker. I remember her, because she brought in her fiance, and I told my friends I'd "faint" if he was fine. He wasn't, but I did anyway, since I had opened my mouth, and Ms. Lee was my favorite teacher :tongue_smilie:. I also remember this school because at one point, I had to wear a large pair of lips around my neck for the day because I talked a lot. I don't think I attended 6th grade here though.
I attended some school in Oh (waiting for housing in Germany) when I was in 7th grade. It had to be 7th grade, I think. Maybe it was 6th, but I don't think I spent 3 years in Nurnberg) I won a speech contest, but never got my trophy because I moved to Germany.
8th-9th was at Nurnberg American High School. It no longer exists :sad:. Lots of memories there. Except I don't remember the teachers. I do remember Rocky, the gummi store, and the gyros stand.
10th-12th was in Copperas Cove, TX. Oh! I remember Mr. Pollard. He was an English teacher, and I talked him into believing in me. I liked him; a little dry, but very nice. I liked another teacher- 12th grade sponsor, I spent lots of detentions in her classroom (for chewing gum, it kept me from talking, generally :lol:). I can't remember her name, but I recognize her when I see her picture in my yearbook.
Lots of memories- few names.

I remember faces, but not many names......Mrs. Jones, Mr. Zimmerman, Mrs. Feinstein, Mr. Johannsan (we called him MacGyver because he was our Physical Science teacher and homework was often to watch MacGyver episodes and report back to him what we learned) and lastly I remember Mr. Beach my ceramics and stained glass teacher. He died of AIDS when I was in my 20's. He was my favorite high school teacher because in spite of all the little jerks (boys mostly) that made fun of him, he was the kindest teacher I ever had and when my friend, who was also one of his students, killed herself over Christmas break he was the only one who asked me how I was doing.
