He is now a superintendent in SBISD. Photo by Trent Rosenthal. Faculty Les Tucker - a teacher at heart e went to North Kansas City High School. He played the trum- pet and ran track and played freshman football. Later, he had his own band. He grew up and became the band director at Memorial Junior High and is now the Superintendent of Spring Branch Independent School District. He is Mr. Les Tucker. Besides being superintendent, Les Tucker likes to hunt deer, squirrels and doves, fish for bass and raise plants. Some people think I have a hobby of plants, he said, but,it,s, just because we have a townhouse and instead of taking care of the yard, I take care of the plants. However, his favorite hobby is for he and his wife, Stacy, to entertain guests. My biggest hobby is people. Love to have people over. It sounds like I'm running for a political office but I'm not, he said. Mr. Tucker enjoyed being band director but had a desire to help stu- dents on a wider basis. He said, The main reason I left Memorial Junior High is that I wanted to help students on a broader scope, and be able to make better program for students. Whenever Tucker is asked what his occupation is, he replies that he is a teacher. I feel it is extremely impor- tant that teachers and administrators maintain a closenessj, he said, I think we fadministratorsj all should remem- ber that we were once teachers and teachers should remember that also. -30.- - Nancy Wright

She is now teaching .tive periods of l returned here, tiring of parttime teaching. Dr. Evers is one out of two faculty members who ics. Photo by Scott Waughtal. - ' V 'Qu just what the doctor ordered ausing outside the classroom - reviewing all the horror stories he has heard about her, the boy braces phimself and enters the room. She has got to be hardg she even has a Doctor- ate, the student silently says. Excluding Senior Principal Dr. James Carthel, Dr. Susan Evers is the only teacher with af Doctorate. The thing my Doctorate has done for me is to enable me to say 'I donitknow' with- out losing status with my students, Dr. Evers said. t t g After having taught at Memorial, Dr. Evers returned to school herself for her Doctorate. I taught here for around two years then went. and got my Doc- torate in Chemistry. After that I did part-time work teaching at colleges for three or four years. I didnit like work- ing part-time so I cameback here and have been here ever since, she said Dr. Evers is in a position tobe to observe both college and high ssc' objectively. I enjoy teaching co1 courses more than high school col but high school students are ni emoyable to teachf' she said. I Though Dr. Evers has her Doctc in Chemistry, she teaches Physics think our Physics course that is ta here is good. It is more what the dents Want and do than the textbt The textbook we are using now is E ple, and I feel our students could l dle a more sophisticated book. Q In the past few years education been carefully scrutinized and reet ated. Most people believe that quality of education has gone d when maybe it is the quality of the dents that has gone down. - 30 - -Cynthiat
