Carver/Century School Honors Susan Jones As Teacher Of The Year
January 6, 2009
As they returned to school for the New Year, the staff and faculty at Carver/Century K-8 School took the time to honor one of their own Monday.
Third grade teacher Susan Jones was honored as Carver/Century’s Teach of the Year by her peers.
“She is an excellent, excellent teacher,” Principal Jeff Garthwaite said. “She was one of the teachers directly responsible for our gains last year on the FCAT in the third grade.”
This will be the last year in the classroom for Jones; she is planning on retirement after 35 years as a teacher.
The teachers and staff celebrated with a lunch, including a bit of “bubbly”(sparkling grape juice). The lunch, sponsored by the Carver/Century School Advisory Council, included items donated by Subway of Flomaton, Tri-Cities Florist in Flomaton, Piggly Wiggly and Southern Panhandle Restaurant.

Susan and Coach Jones have been a Godsend to the Century area!!!!! Many folks are so proud of all they have done for the community and schools of Century!!!She will be greatly missed……..when he retires there will probably be wailing,weeping and gnashing of teeth!!! I have known of a situation,years ago,when a parent checked her son out of one school to take him to Century for Coach to spank him!!!!! It worked,too!! That boy came back to school a new lil man!!!!!!!! We love you both……..
They don’t come any better than Susan Jones. If you are a parent you would want your son/daughter in her class regardless of the grade level. Any time you walk into her room she is engaged in the art of teaching/helping students. The school and district will be lessened by her retirement. Century has been fortunate to have Susan Jones teach their children. God Speed.
