October District Novice Teachers of the Month

(November 6, 2025) – We are excited to recognize our incredible October District Novice Teachers of the Month — new educators in HCSD who are already making a significant impact in their classrooms!  
 
Join us in congratulating these rising stars in education:
 
 • Lyman Elementary - Jourdan Carpenter
 • North Gulfport Elementary & Middle - Ondrea Magee
 • Saucier Elementary - Gemar Johnson 
 • West Harrison High - Avery Byerley
 
The excitement doesn’t stop there. One of these amazing novice teachers will soon receive a surprise visit from Huntington Learning Center and be treated to a gift card, certificate, teacher supplies, and cheerful balloons.  
 
Thank you for helping our students Connect, Empower, and Thrive.
