Congratulations to our October Teacher of the Month – Jamie Onstot Tharpe. Ms. Tharpe has been an educator for 26 years, the last 22 having been spent teaching social studies at Spring Oaks. Before that, she taught 4 years at Northbrook High. She earned her degree at LSU and has remained a big supporter of the Bayou Bengals (we can tell by the pictures of tigers on her classroom walls). Ms. Tharpe is an engaging teacher who is always seeking out ways to make history come alive for her students. She often surprises her students with interesting facts they can’t find in textbooks. She has taken trips to historical sites across the US in order to gather information about historical periods she teaches, and she brings this information back to her students. Ms. Tharpe is a conscientious and energetic teacher, and we are happy to have her at Spring Oaks!
