Great Things Happening in Humboldt Because of Great Leadership


Middle School Special Education instructor, Greg Wickett took time away from his valued planning time to give a guided tour of Humboldt Middle School and Taft Elementary School on Thursday, May 11th. In addition to his teaching duties and association role, Greg also is the head High School track coach. I don't know how he does it all (and he does it all so well!).

As we toured Taft Elementary, we came across a familiar face. In the fall of 2004 I visited Taft Elementary and had the chance then to read to Diane Bacon's 3rd graders. Diane (at right) brought us into her classroom on Thursday and had her 3rd graders interview me about my role and responsiblities as ISEA president. It was extra special to reconnect with this extra special educator!


The final classroom we had the chance to visit in Humboldt was Mrs. Josephine Alstott's 3rd grade. Mrs. Alstott selected the book Inch and Miles, Journey to Success by former UCLA Head Basketball Coach John Wooden. It was a wonderful book and we only made a good start at it!

Thanks Greg, Diane, and Josephine for all you do every day to provide challenges for the students!
