Rebecca Spruill

I’ve been a teacher for 28 years and have loved every minute of it. Every morning I wake up excited, wondering what I will learn that day.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to guide and inspire young minds, but they have also helped me learn and grow. Every day I discover something new through each and every child.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my most memorable teaching moments was working with a child who struggled with reading. When they finally understood and gained confidence, they truly soared and even went on to skip grades. Seeing that growth made me so proud.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were given $25,000, I would use it to further my education, pay down some bills, and take a much-needed vacation. Teaching is something I truly love, but even the best teachers need time to rest and recharge so they can come back even stronger for their students.
