“The Chill Teacher,” isn’t their official title, but if you ask anyone who has interacted with them, they’ll tell you that Mrs. Sully and Mrs. Moncrief made Wakeland feel like a second home for them.

Students at Wakeland stop and talk to Mrs. Sully during Power Lunch and at the bus line drawn to her contagious positivity and bubbly personality.

Charlie Patterson, a Senoir at Wakeland High School, describes her as, “always kind.”

He tells us how, “she always says hi in the halls, and she’s always there for [him].” Mrs. Sully brings a light to the usually daunting AP hallway as she eases students’ nerves with her calming and personable presence.

Mrs. Sully has worked in the school for 18 years and has been loving every second. “It has everything I could ever ask for in a school. It has really good staff, it has really good students… It’s just a really good place to be.”

Which is why Mrs. Sully has stayed at Wakeland since its opening in 2006.

On the other side of the school students work hard in Mrs. Moncreif’s class. One of her students, Daniel Lee, a Sophomore at Wakeland High School, says she gave him “the motivation [he] needed to prepare [himself] for colleges.”

Moncreif says the people she works with and amazing students are what keeps her here at Wakeland, and she hopes for the future of Wakeland to keep “doing what we are doing.”

Everyone at Wakeland agrees that these people bring a light to students’ lives each day; their legacy will set a mark on the school forever.
