The “magic” of USD 265 doesn’t just happen in one place, it happens in our classrooms, hallways, kitchens, and on our buses. The Goddard Education Foundation, alongside our Legacy Partners at Lange Real Estate, was thrilled to present the #265Family Award to 15 outstanding staff members who embody the spirit of our District and lead with heart every single day.
Today, we are proud to recognize our winner from Eisenhower High School: Blake Morgan
"He really brings passion to everything he does in the classroom. He also genuinely cares about his students health and mental wellness. He is willing to help out struggling students."
- Emmarie Barger, Student
"Mr. Morgan not only accepts his students with an insane amount of respect, but also with almost a belief in his responsibility for these kids. Rather than the typical teacher title, Mr. Morgan creates a familial feeling in his classroom. Teaching the sciences don't always leave the teacher as a student favorite, but he is the exception. So I nominate Blake Morgan (BMO)."
- Derek Hunsaker, Student
"He has been amazing with my son’s high school career and has been so helpful and kind at all times. He’s a fantastic teacher and a great asset to my son."
- Sara Parker, Parent of Student
"He is very inspirational and makes the classroom a fun environment that makes me want to learn."
- Sophia School, Student
This celebration is made possible by Lange Real Estate. Their commitment to recognizing the vital role our staff plays in creating a thriving learning environment ensures our #265Family Heroes feel seen and valued.
In USD 265 we don’t just work together, we lift each other up. Congratulations Mr. Morgan for proving that we truly are #BetterTogether!
