Havre Middle School Case Study

My school Havre Middle School is located in Northcentral Montana between two Native American Reservations; Rocky Boy Reservation and Fort Belknap Reservation. The population of Havre is 10,500 people. The demographics of our school stem highly of Native Americans. Havre Middle school has a student body of about 450 students, 30 teachers, and 15 paraprofessionals. The middles school is overseen by two full time administrators. I have worked in the Havre Public School system for 1 year. I am very committed to working in the Havre Middle School, where I will continue my role as a Science teacher, colleague, friend, and community member.
When I think of the term school culture, I have these thoughts that race through my head. They can be either
Our students get so excited about the arts in our school and picking elective classes. I truly feel that the arts is an outlet for ours students in our school. Our art programs are there to help students develop meaningful original works based on their opinions, feelings, and experiences. Our school has great art programs that we offer. Students get a choice of band, choir, guitar, piano, industrial art, art, and culinary art class. The school culture is going to change as we are losing our band teacher of 37 years, who was amazing with students. The creativity that our art teachers get students to express is absolutely amazing. Our school is always packed with community members whenever there is a performing art program. We have great band, choir, piano, guitar concerts, fantastic art shows and walks, wood working displays, and cooking shows. The culture of arts in the school is respected and loved by students, staff and community
I would describe myself as outgoing and adventurous. I know what I want to be or think I do. My ideal image for a teacher in my role is someone who is happy and has a contagious personality. I hope to become a teacher who kids want as teacher. By that I mean, I hope I leave an impacting effect on my students and they know how much I loved teaching science and them. I hope to become the teacher who is so damn good at integrating the arts into my classroom. Who never gives up on her students, and who remembers the simple things in why I became a teacher. The type of teacher that I fear becoming is the type of teacher that I have a negative experience with. I absolutely fear of becoming a teacher who has no control over class and is just there to collect a pay check because I am burnt out, yet retirement is years
