Stephanie O’Hara is an extraordinary educator!

Students are always welcome in Stephanie’s room, where they feel safe and included, whether it’s at lunch, before school, or as members of her MATHCOUNTS team.

She is continuously finding new ways to incorporate technology tools in the classroom to enhance student learning.

Stephanie is truly a superhero.

She is always student-focused and looking for new and creative ways to get students engaged.

Stephanie provides a positive and appropriately challenging classroom experience to all of the students who are lucky to have her as a teacher.

She fully supports her colleagues.

Stephanie O’Hara is the epitome of a “warm demander” - demonstrating warmth and compassion for her students while holding them to high standards.

I feel lucky knowing my own children might have her as a math teacher in the future.

Stephanie is an inspiration to all of us at Wyoming Middle School.
