Meet the New Teacher’s

Story by Hudson Axtell

Teachers are undoubtedly the unsung heroes of the world; without them, we would be nowhere in society. They are responsible for the education of so many, and some go above and beyond to foster great attitudes for students to flourish everywhere. With the new year, three wonderful faculty members have joined our ACHS family who are guaranteed to inspire and educate numerous students at the school. These new teachers are our new counselor, Mrs. Echer, who mentors the people with the last name

A-E, Mr. Carpenter, who teaches various history classes, and Mr. Gomez, who teaches art.

    Our counselors help each and every student attending ACHS, and Mrs. Echer, an avid Diet Dr. Pepper fan, is sure to be nothing short of a wonderful advisor for everyone here. “I love the college and career piece [of counseling]... If you come in this office and you’re like ‘I just don’t know what I want to do…’  I promise you I could probably spend three hours figuring that out with you,” Mrs. Echer said. It is apparent that she is beyond dedicated to students and helping them figure out their future. Outside of work, she spends time with her twins, who are two years old and loves to be around her friends and family.

    Taking on the remarkably daunting task of heading the art department here, Mr. Gomez has nearly 20 years of experience in art teaching under his belt and is passionate about helping students find meaning in their lives through art. “I always felt like art was something that gave me peace. Whenever I had a moment of free time I would often be drawing in my sketchbooks, ” Mr. Gomez stated. With his experience, endearing love for art, and the teaching of it, as well as the fact that he will be coaching the JV basketball team, Mr. Gomez will be a perfect fit for ACHS.

    Last but definitely not least, Mr. Carpenter, who is not only new to this school, but also new to his career, teaches Modern World History, US History, and World Geography! As someone who sees teaching as more of a calling, Mr. Carpenter is incredibly passionate about teaching and helping others. “ I have always had a passion for seeing people achieve their best in what they do, and also the love for mentoring,” Mr. Carpenter said. Beyond this, he loves history, especially Medieval history, and enjoys movies, video games, and football. Mr. Carpenter is sure to be a spectacular teacher, so don’t be afraid to say hi!

    Each teacher at this school has their own value, so it is pertinent that we celebrate new faculty and make them feel as welcome as possible.

As these teachers adjust to the new community, make sure to say hi in the hallways!
