Ms. Culps currently teaches 1st through 2nd grade CBS students. She has been a Lewis Falcon for six of her 14 years in public education.
Ms. Culps’ experience in helping students develop communication and self-regulation skills—and achieving academically—has identified her as a leader among her peers.
“Her commitment to supporting some of our most complex students, all while demonstrating a strong work ethic, is a huge support to our school,” said Lewis School in naming Ms. Culps its Teacher of the Month for September 2023.
“Ms. Culps does all of the above while being a mom of two in an active-duty military family, which is no small feat when considering how demanding her teaching role is on a daily basis. Team Lewis is lucky to have teachers such as Ms. Culps, and we know our students benefit from her love and expertise!”
Ms. Culp receives a prize package that includes a fantastic assortment of gifts, certificates, and merchandise generously provided by The Wharf 850, Black Rifle Coffee, Eagles Nest, Katies House of Flowers, Publix, Chick-fil-A, Crumbl Cookies Niceville, and Jeremiah’s Italian Ice.
Each week, we are shining a spotlight on an exceptional student or teacher of the month from a local school, acknowledging their remarkable achievements. We start the series today and will continue every Monday starting tomorrow. Each school chooses its teacher and student of the month.
