Congratulations to Mrs. Megan Hawkes, a Tortolita Middle School Teacher, who was honored as a 2024 Legendary Teacher! Mrs. Hawkes was surprised with the honor in her classroom this week. Her nominee shared this about Mrs. Hawkes:

“Megan is an education rockstar, planning innovative and engaging curriculum and lessons not only for the 7th-grade social studies classes but also for the middle school “Gifted Education in Marana” (GEM) classes. As the GEM teacher at TMS, she provides valuable, often overlooked, and misunderstood services to the gifted students at TMS. Students, while highly intelligent, can have a variety of additional challenges from behavior to executive functioning skills that have often been overlooked throughout their education due to their advanced scores and placements. This involves specialized training and professional development coursework to enrich her curriculum based on her student’s unique needs and interests. In her classroom students engage in problem-solving, and project-based learning in a variety of areas of study from STEM and design, to budgeting and planning. She is truly a legendary teacher!”
