Season 2, Episode 2: Second Grade Teacher but First in Heart: LPS Teacher of the Year Phyllis Hays

In this episode of Raider Reach, we sit down with Lumberton Primary School’s Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Phyllis Hays. From homeschooling her children to becoming a second-grade teacher, Mrs. Hays shares her inspiring path to the classroom, the joy of watching students’ “light bulb moments,” and the importance of building relationships with students and families. With humor, honesty, and heart, she reflects on her “why” in education — giving students the foundation they need to thrive in school and in life.
