Warrior Hero Highlight We’re excited to spotlight Mrs. Carrie Stevenson, who teaches 7th Grade Math at West Point Junior High! Carrie is passionate about helping students not only understand new concepts, but also recognize the potential they often don’t see in themselves. She also loves that teaching allows her to keep learning and growing right alongside her students. One of her favorite parts of being a Warrior is the incredible school spirit and student talent. From assemblies, performances, and art shows to hallway decorating and school-wide Rock Paper Scissors tournaments, Carrie says WPJH is truly a fun, creative place to be—and she feels lucky to be part of it. Carrie was inspired by many amazing teachers throughout her life and now brings that same care and inspiration to her own classroom every day. And here’s some fun trivia: Carrie once went bungee jumping, hiked the entire Narrows in Zion National Park, loves chocolate-covered almonds, collects topaz crystals, and creates digital scrapbook pages on her phone. She’s a perfect mix of adventurous and artistic—and we’re lucky to have her at West Point! Returning for the 2025-26 School Year! Carrie Stevenson Math 7

Warrior Hero Highlight We’re thrilled to welcome Mr. Wesley Dawson to the West Point team! He teaches Spanish 1 and 2 and brings energy, passion, and purpose to his classroom every day. Wesley was inspired to become a teacher by his own love of the Spanish language and culture. His goal is to help students fall in love with Spanish just like he did—and to show them the incredible benefits that come with learning a second language. He especially loves seeing the excitement on students' faces when they truly understand a concept and begin to grow in confidence. His favorite part of being a Warrior? The fact that our school mascot is named Wesley (great name!)—and, of course, being watched over by Mel Gibson’s doppelgänger in the legendary warrior mural! And here’s a fun fact: Mr. Dawson loves to cook. Whether he’s whipping up something in the kitchen or guiding students through language learning, he brings flavor, fun, and focus to everything he does at West Point!

Warrior Hero Highlight We’re thrilled to welcome back Mrs. Sierra Fox to West Point, where she teaches Math 8 and Math 8 Honors. Sierra began her teaching career right here as a Warrior, and she’s proud to continue growing with our amazing school community. Sierra comes from a long line of educators—her mom, grandma, and now several other family members are teachers. Watching the meaningful relationships they built with students inspired her to follow the same path. Today, she brings that same passion for connection and growth into her own classroom. She loves teaching math because it equips students with skills they’ll use for the rest of their lives—and she finds joy in helping them find confidence and success in a subject that often feels challenging. And here’s a fun detail students love to talk about: Sierra has a serious Owala water bottle collection—one for every day of the week, plus a few extras! Returning for the 2025-26 School Year!

As a proud member of the West Point faculty, Teresa says the best part of being a Warrior is working with such an incredible team and community.

Greg is all about helping students see their potential, grow beyond their comfort zones, and understand the power of positivity and good habits. He’s upfront and honest—he’ll challenge his students, but they always leave knowing they are valued, supported, and needed. Greg comes from a family of educators, as does his wife—teaching is just who they are. His favorite part of being a Warrior is the strong culture of community, service, and school spirit that defines West Point. One of his greatest joys is when former students return to visit, share graduation announcements, or even invite him to weddings—he’s attending two this August! And here’s a fun fact: Greg has a huge love for music and brings it into his lessons in fun and creative ways. In just the past two years, he’s been to eight concerts, including Taylor Swift (twice!), Imagine Dragons, Post Malone, and even Metallica!

Her passion for learning and helping others was clear early on, from tutoring classmates to assisting with the school candy store. Those formative experiences inspired her to pursue teaching, where she could continue to support and guide students. Her favorite part of being a Warrior is seeing the entire school community come together, especially during events like Warriors Are Wonderful. She values the unity and support among students, staff, and administration.

This year, she’s teaching Exploring Health Science for 7th and 8th grade, Health Education for 8th grade, Introduction to Health Sciences, and Teaching as a Profession for 9th grade. Sarah loves teaching because it allows her to share a subject she’s passionate about while working alongside amazing students and staff.

That early experience sparked Sarah’s decision to become a teacher and stay connected to both education and athletics. Her favorite part of being a Warrior is the unmatched community—a place where students, staff, and families support one another and create something truly special. She says she can’t imagine teaching anywhere else!

Warrior Hero Highlight We’re thrilled to welcome back Mrs. Amanda Stansfield, who teaches 7th and 8th Grade Science at West Point. Amanda brings curiosity, enthusiasm, and a love for discovery to her classroom, creating a space where students can grow and succeed. Amanda was inspired by her mom, a lifelong teacher whose students often shared how much they loved her class. From a young age, Amanda dreamed of teaching—drawing on whiteboards, imagining lessons, and later teaching swim lessons confirmed her calling. While she started on a path toward elementary education, the experiences of COVID shifted her focus, and she found her passion in junior high science. Her favorite part of being a Warrior is the strong sense of community among faculty, staff, and students, and the many opportunities for students to stay engaged during and after school. And here’s a quirky fun fact: when Amanda stands straight, her knees touch but her feet don’t! It’s just one of the many things that makes her one-of-a-kind—just like her classroom!

Warrior Hero Highlight Please help us welcome Mrs. Jackie Chlarson to West Point Junior High! Jackie is joining our ASC team as a teachers aid and brings a unique and powerful blend of life experience, service, and passion for education. Jackie’s journey to the classroom is far from traditional. She began her career as an active duty Army soldier and currently serves in the Army National Guard’s 19th Special Forces Airborne Group (Red Berets). She also works as a deputy sheriff, transporting federal inmates when needed. It was during her time working in corrections that she discovered her passion for helping others learn and grow—watching inmates work toward their GEDs and witnessing their pride when they passed inspired her to enter the world of education. She loves teaching because it allows her to be part of something bigger than herself and to experience the joy on students’ faces when learning clicks. Her patience, empathy, and dedication to others shine in everything she does. One of her favorite things about being a Warrior? She’s actually related to William Wallace—making our mascot connection feel pretty epic! We’re honored to have Mrs. Chlarson’s strength, heart, and inspiring story at West Point this year!
