Today, we celebrate El Dorado High School Special Education teacher Heather Craig and the positive impact she makes each day!
Several parents have nominated Mrs. Craig, and the consensus is the same: Mrs. Craig goes “above and beyond” for her students. One parent said, “She has always been my go-to person for any question I’ve had about my son’s education or any school related issue or event. If she doesn’t know, I can always trust her to find out! She advocates for my child and the other students in her special education classes, helping them to be successful in their general ed classes.” Another parent commented, “She's sweet, and she goes the extra mile for her students. Keeps me informed. She's a God send!” Several others echoed their sentiments.
Thank you, Mrs. Craig, for everything you do for our students!

Dawson Moser, teacher at El Dorado High School, attended the University of Arkansas at Monticello where he earned a degree in Exercise Science. He currently teaches boys health and safety and coaches football.
Coach Moser chose to attend UAM for the baseball program. He was a pitcher for the Boll Weevils throughout his college career. Baseball played a major role in Coach Moser’s college experience. If he wasn’t in class or studying, he was likely to be found with his team. Being a collegiate athlete is no easy feat, but for Coach Moser, winning conference championships made it all worth it.
Thank you, Coach Moser, for sharing about UAM! If you are interested in learning more about the University of Arkansas at Monticello, visit https://www.uamont.edu/.

Andria Gleghorn (Miss G), an assistant principal at Barton Junior High School, attended Ouachita Baptist University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Education.
When asked how Miss G ended up at OBU, she said “God chose it for me—I had a person from my church come up to me and ask if I wanted to go to OBU—he said he would make it possible!” Once she was there, it was an unforgettable experience. Not only did Miss G have amazing teachers and make lifelong friends, but she also had the honor of being a 1998 Tiger Tunes Hostess.
