Mrs. Sarah Hanratty ELA teacher teaching English II,III, and IV To me Women's History Month means taking the time to recognize the achievements, and hardships women in U.S. have fought for. acknowledging the suffragettes who fought for women’s rights and the vote. It's also a time to learn about women who have made incredible bounds, whom we might not be aware of; a learning opportunity. I've been singing since I started lessons at 4 years old. My 15 minutes of fame would be that I've sung the National Anthem twice for the Seattle Seahawks and I got the opportunity to sing for Saint Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in Rome, Italy. I'm very proud and blessed to have been able to have those moments I will never forget.

Ms. Sidney Smith is a 9th grade and 11th grade English teacher. Women’s History Month to her means so much to her as for decades of women’s stories and achievements have been largely left out of the curriculum. Now that the curriculum is being changed throughout the classroom, she thinks that we should ask ourselves whose stories are being left out, and how we could elevate and empower female voices.

Mrs. Ruthie Todd Women’s History Month has affected me in the following way: Growing up I had low self-esteem .That all changed when I went to work as an officer at Eastern Correctional Institution. My entering into a man's world gave me courage and a change in the way I looked at myself. I came to realize that I could do different things and accept challenges that would eventually build up my confidence in myself and my abilities.

Mrs. Amanda Lankford is an 11th and 12th grade math and physics teacher at CAHS. She is also the advisor of the Mu Alpha Theta program and the Math Department chair. Her undergraduate degree is in mathematics; she was one of the very few women in the program! She chose to get two masters degrees in education and math in order to continue the same program at a higher level. Her two oldest daughters also graduated with degrees in STEM, where their classes were half men and half women. To Mrs. Lankford, Women’s History Month is a wonderful opportunity to recognize the contribution of women in history, as for most of history, women have been making important contributions, but only in the background with the men they worked with. Today, we have the ability to look at historical records and see where those women worked hard to set us up for the equal rights we have today.

Mrs. Kari Horner is primarily a computer science teacher, she also teachers a year-long semester English teacher and a semester long psychology class. To her Women’s History Month is meant to honor the women who gained equal rights for all women in the United States. She says she is lucky to live in a time where she has no clue what it was like to have to fight to vote, since all she’s ever known is having women’s rights. She would like women to know that they should know their worth and not drag themselves or other women down such as making fun of other women. She believes all women should stick together.

Mrs. Robin Ford, M. Ed. US History II, 9th Grade, CAHS 28 years Teaching: 17 at CAHS, 8 at WAHS, 3 ALC I think this is definitely the time to acknowledge and honor the accomplishments of some of the female pioneers who set out to gain equality for all women. The contributions of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, etc., helped the women's suffrage movement immensely. They were the movers and shakers of their time. Thanks to their tenacity, women were granted the right to vote with the 19th Amendment in 1920. Another famous woman I admire was former slave and abolitionist Harriet Tubman. She made 19 total trips, while risking her own freedom to help free others. The sacrifices of these women are forever embedded in our history. I am forever grateful for their perseverance.
