Tonya Pollart - Teacher Spotlight

Job Title: 8th Grade ELA

A little about Mrs. Pollart: I am a native of Southwest Kansas. I graduated from Fort Hays State University with a bachelor's degree in education and earned a master's degree from Newman University. My husband, Chris, is also an educator at Lakin, and together we have two adult daughters, Delaney and Alyse. I enjoy traveling, reading, attending sporting events, and spending time with my family.

Experience: This is my 33rd year in education, and my 10th year teaching in Lakin. The thing I enjoy most about teaching is watching students experience those "Aha moments" when they grasp something new.

Words of Wisdom: My advice to students is to never settle—keep moving forward and growing.
