Teacher Tuesday - Susan Mowrey, Topsail High School! 🌍📚 Susan Mowrey’s journey to teaching started when she taught English overseas as a temporary job. She discovered a passion for seeing the lightbulb turn on for students—and that spark has guided her career for the last 23 years! 💡 Her favorite subject to teach is AP Human Geography because it covers everything happening in the world. But, her family would argue that AP Psychology holds a special place too, as she often comes home excited to talk about the discoveries her students make each day. 🧠🌏 One of her proudest moments recently was working as a consultant with the NC AP Partnership, where she found a new love for teaching adults. It’s clear that Susan’s impact stretches beyond just her students! 👩‍🏫🌱 Outside of the classroom, Susan enjoys reading and gardening, and her green thumb helps her unwind after a busy day. 🌸 At home, she shares her life with a dog who has very strong opinions! She loves how her dog’s affection is a quick mood booster, but also appreciates how she knows when Susan needs some space—a true mental health check from her furry friend. 🐶💖 Her favorite travel destination is her hometown in Michigan, where she finds peace and nostalgia. 🌲 Susan’s personal motto is a reminder that “Daily life is life and it makes a difference to them.” It’s a philosophy that reflects how she views her role—small moments truly do matter to students. 🌟 Thank you, Ms. Mowrey, for the passion and dedication you bring to teaching every day! 👏💙
