Ms. Sterling has always loved working with kids and knew that she was meant to be a teacher. In 2015 Ms. Sterling moved from Malden to Scott City to complete her degree in elementary education. Her family quickly fell in love with Scott City and this has been her home ever since. She said that making this move and going back to school was one of the best decisions she has ever made. Ms. Sterling has two children. Her son is a junior at SEMO and her daughter is a senior at Scott City HS.
Ms. Sterling is in her 7th year at SCE and has loved being part of such an amazing group of educators. She said that the best part of teaching is being a part of a child’s self discovery and growing confidence they didn’t have before. “Working with students to push through those learning barriers and watching them grow is why I love doing what I do. I get to work with such amazing people who encourage and inspire me every day. It doesn’t get much better than that.”
