Today we recognized Paige Bariola McKay with a Certificate of Excellence for 29 years of dedication to teaching and serving the children at Leflore County High School.

Paige graduated from DSU with a BSE in Biology and General Science. She did student teaching at LeFlore County High School and was hired by Superintendent Irvin Whittaker in 1990. She taught 7th and 8th grade for 8 years, 5 of those years were in The Communities and Schools founded by Celia Emmerich ( a dropout prevention program for at-risk students). She was then given the task of teaching Biology (a state tested subject) and Anatomy & Physiology for her remaining years at LCHS. (Microbiology, Biology II, Genetics, Advanced Biology, Intro to Biology- at various times). Paige received the Excellence in Education Award 4 years in a row and the People’s choice award. She worked with 8 different principles in the 29 years there. She said she wouldn’t trade it for the world.
