Catherine Gordon was nominated by parent Terry Wood
and student Kendall Wood. The nomination stated “As the
parent of a junior in high school, Ms. Gordan is a gem. Not
only is she a great teacher (according to Kendall), but she
also keeps the parents informed of class happenings as
well. Kendall has been blessed to have her as his physical
science as well as Biology teacher and I couldn't be
happier. Not only does she teach them-she LOVES them
and they know it. When a teacher takes the time to hand
write a note to all of her students at the end of the
semester that say a lot. THS is blessed to have her!!!”
Kendall Wood stated in his nomination that “Ms. Gordan
is a good teacher who loves her students and Oreos.”
