The High School Division Teacher of the Year for 2009-2010 is Laura Decker, a biology teacher from Mandeville High School. She was introduced to the School Board at its October meeting by Superintendent Gayle Sloan, left. A teacher for the past 21 years, she began her college career studying biology and planning to become a doctor. She changed her major in her senior year, however, and received an education degree. The first time she stood in front of a class, she knew she was at home, she said. “It was a career I was meant to have, and Mandeville High is a wonderful place to work,” she stated. Mrs. Sloan told the Board, “We have some incredible educators in St. Tammany Parish.”
