Greetings, I’m Ms. Spring! It is always a pleasure to meet and converse with you! Please feel free to stop by my office.
I was raised in the small town of Lonoke, AR. I have one son and one daughter. The greatest gift I can share with the world is my love of knowledge. “One comes to school to be educated, but Education is not school!” Reading is my first love! My other hobbies include traveling, eating, and making memories with my family. Everything you pursue in life comes with a lesson. Life is our greatest teacher!
Before coming to BHS, I was an English teacher and then an Elementary Counselor. I have worked with all grade levels. Each group has taught me so much about myself and vice versa.
Why did I become a counselor? Well, I LOVE LOVE LOVE TO TALK!!! I am the best version of myself when I can flourish in a positive atmosphere full of laughter and excellent communication. I thrive on building relationships with my students. It’s always important for me to know them beyond the work they turned in for a grade. Many times, students would come to me and need to talk about their situations. I found myself wanting to “save”, “guide”, and “assist” (any other synonym you can think of) them all!!! One day, I was feeling stressed, tired, and frustrated (as a classroom teacher), and a young lady stepped into my room very timid and shy. “Ms. Spring, I know you aren’t my teacher. I had a dream about you last night. I was told to tell you to keep doing what you are doing. We need you!”
I immediately got up from my desk and gave her a hug. Little did she know, that I needed to hear that just as much as she needed a hug from me that day. From that moment on, I realized that I was meant to stay in Education, and to reach more students, I would need to step out of my classroom because the amount that poured in was overwhelming. I am grateful for the journey and the memories I have made during my educational years. I am walking in my “purpose” and guiding others the best way I can.
