This month we’ve chosen to highlight people who are highly involved within our school. Southeast senior Morgan Muncy and English teacher Jennifer Baker are both stellar examples of this. Muncy involves herself in clubs and activities while Baker brings purpose and excitement to her lessons and the school community.
Baker has been teaching English at Southeast for 17 years. Her teaching style isn’t plain and boring, but rather, she tries to bring excitement and fun into every class period. “I teach because I love trying to ignite some excitement for learning,” Baker said. She truly cares about the school and her students. She helps with various extracurricular activities such as setting up fundraisers, organizing school events, and coming up with the summer read. Baker stated her favorite time was when Covid-19 had hit because it made our school and community come together more.
The student we are recognizing this month is Muncy. Muncy is an incredible student who comes to school everyday with the motivation to participate and be involved. She participates in National Honors Society, Link Crew, softball, Leo’s Club, FCS, FCCLA, and FFA. Muncy says her biggest achievements are earning the 1st team All-Ohio for softball, and receiving a scholarship to play Division 1 softball at Miami University in Oxford, OH. After High School, Muncy plans to further her education there. Muncy’s favorite High School memory was getting the opportunity to go on the FFA field trip to the National Convention in Indiana. Muncy’s favorite subject this year is Makers Space with teacher Carrie Edwards.
Both Baker and Muncy are perfect examples of the staff and students in our school who get involved in their own ways. Whether it’s being a leader in various activities or igniting passion and enthusiasm in others, they both deserve to be recognized.
