We are beyond proud of all of our dedicated and hardworking teachers and staff at Finley Junior High.
⭐ A huge congratulations to our very own Mrs. Bullock for being named Secondary Teacher of the Year for the district! Mrs. Bullock’s passion, creativity, and dedication to her students and Fine Arts program make a lasting impact every single day. Finley Junior High is so proud to call her one of our own!
⭐ We also want to honor and thank Ms. Morrow, one of our outstanding school counselors, on her retirement after 30 years of service in Waxahachie ISD. Ms. Morrow has touched countless lives through her kindness, compassion, and unwavering support of students, staff, and families. Her impact on Finley and WISD will be felt for years to come, and she will be greatly missed.
We are also incredibly proud of several other Finley staff members who were recognized.
⭐ Mrs. Balina – Support Staff of the Year, for always serving others with a positive attitude, hard work, and a caring heart.
⭐ Ms. Stacy – Rookie Teacher of the Year, for making an immediate impact through her dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment to students.
⭐ Mrs. Pruitt – honored for 19 years of service as Varsity Swim Coach at WHS. Her leadership and dedication to student athletes over the years are truly remarkable.
⭐ Ms. Schoendienst and Mrs. Hall – recognized for earning TIA, a reflection of their excellence in the classroom and commitment to student success.
Thank you to all our teachers and staff for the love, passion, and excellence you bring to our students each and every day. Go Warriors!
