Teacher of the Week

Linda Woods

Woods began her teaching career back in August, 1965. In the beginning, she taught in the area of science but her dream was to be a guidance counselor.
?It was something I always wanted to do,? said Woods. ?Guidance counselors work with students, parents and teachers. We work together to solve problems. If a student needs to talk, I?m also a sounding board. Being a guidance counselor is very fulfilling.?

This year will be her last year in the school system. She is retiring after years of dedicated service to the children of Warren County.

?Leaving is bringing tears to my eyes,? said Woods, ?because I know that by just being here, I?ve made a difference. Right now I want to spend more time with my grandchildren, husband and myself.

?I enjoy working outdoors,? she continued. ?I love flowers and gardening. I just want to have time with my family. I have always had the philosophy to give 100 percent when I?m in the school and 100 percent at home. It?s always worked so far.?
