Arlie Hulme in the classroom.
Arlie Hulm

Mathematics Teacher

Moorcroft Secondary School, CCSD#1

Mr. Hulm is consistently available and accommodating to students, demonstrating a willingness to assist them at any time. He readily offers his support to those who seek understanding and are willing to put in the effort to meet with him. His approachability, talent, and extensive knowledge make him an invaluable resource for our school community. He has been a viable source in creating a plan to grow our students on their state assessments. His junior high students are currently 15% more proficient when comparing fall to winter scores after Mr. Hulm implemented his strategies for his classroom.

"“I admire Mr. Hulm’s kindness, which he consistently displays towards all students and staff, regardless of the circumstances. He serves as a reliable and supportive presence, contributing positively to our school environment.”"

- Sherry Ewing, Assistant Principal, Moorcroft Elementary and Secondary School, CCSD #1

"Superintendent Degenfelder will recognize an educator each month in this newsletter. To nominate an educator to be featured, email Linda Finnerty at* [email protected]*."
