Caroline Montgomery, who retires after 42 years as a professional educator, began her teaching career in 1976. The

nation was celebrating its Bicentennial. It may be safe to say Mrs. Montgomery remembers those Happy Days where everyone tried

to live One Day At A Time, and "Mac"Intosh Apples simply grew on trees. We hope you enjoy this fun retrospective on what was happening in the world when she started teaching school.

Congratulations to all FSPS Retirees! We are grateful for your

many years of service to your students and colleagues through the

years. Congratulations also goes to all who have reached various

milestones in your careers in Fort Smith Public Schools.

Thanks for being a part of the #FSPSProud Team!
