Ms. Spenser Olughlin helps her students work on an art project.

Art teacher Ms. Spenser Olughlin looked down at her papers, trying to find her new classroom on the map. She wasn’t a new teacher, but she was new to this school, and it was completely different. Students already knew where they were going, but she had never been in this room before.

Ms. Spenser Olughlin started teaching Art 1 later in the school year, finally realizing her dream to work at a high school after teaching art at a middle school in Fort Worth.

“Since I wanted to work at a high school, I felt at home here,” Ms. Olughlin said. “I really like it here. I love it. I’m very happy.”

Ms. Olughlin graduated from Mansfield’s Summit High School, never moving out of Mansfield.

“It’s amazing at Legacy. I love the room and the kiddos,” she said. “Everyone accepted me with open arms.”

Ms. Olughlin gets her project ideas from her time as a student teacher and from the ideas bounced around between the other art teachers.

“Her teaching style is very loose,” freshman Logan Dawson said. “She knows how to act with kids. She’s not mean or strict, but she has control of the class. She just knows how to work with freshmen.”

Ms. Olughlin most enjoys teaching drawing, clay, and painting, but says that the best part of her day is the students.

“My biggest goal and most successful accomplishment is building relationships with students,”
Ms. Olughlin said. “My goal is to know one fact about each of the 200 kids I teach.”

About the Contributors
Michelle McDaniel, Personalities Editor and LBTV Staffer
Hello! This is my second year as an editor for The Rider, and I’m very happy to be here! I do some of the art for the journalism department, too. A bit about me: I have way too many hobbies and not enough time. I like to write, edit this newspaper, collect quotes, play video games, draw, take pictures, travel, and a lot of other things. I spend most of my free time either helping out at my church, finishing my AP art projects in Mr. Mason’s room or completing and editing stories in the journalism room. I have “slight” obsessions with The Beatles and Harry Potter. Hopefully this time next year, I’ll be writing for UNT’s newspaper!   “I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.” -Martha Washington Did I mention that I love collecting quotes?
