Friendly, compassionate, and talented are three qualities attributed to the
recipient of this year's dedication. In the classroom, this teacher
captures the attention of students by transforming difficult material into
everyday language. Intimidating concepts become simplified and relatable
under her direction. During her free time, she plays hostess to students
seeking a quiet place to study or finish assignments, offering up her laptops
for use as well as her expertise. However, this teacher's presence extends
beyond the walls of her classroom. In the hallway, on those early Monday
mornings, she will likely greet you with a cheerful "good morning!" She
takes a genuine interest in her students' lives, typically inquiring about
performance in sports and recalling details that anyone other than an avid
listener would not recollect. Spotted after school at movie club or
perhaps shedding a tear under her sunglasses at graduation, she has influenced
every student at Kennett High School in one way or another. Her
consistently cheerful spirit and warm presence have won the hearts of many
students and created a more positive experience within the walls of our school.
Because of her easygoing and generous nature, the Class of 2012 is proud to
dedicate this year's Kennetteer to
Ms. Carolyn Smith.
