Jenifer Middle School • Band & Choir Teacher
Some teachers teach a subject.
But some teachers teach so much more.
At Jenifer Middle School, there’s a teacher who doesn’t just fill her room with music—
she fills it with joy, encouragement,
and the kind of support that can turn an entire day around.
Her students say she makes class fun.
That she’s positive, uplifting, and always ready to brighten someone’s world.
If a student feels overwhelmed—she notices.
If a friend is having a bad day—she makes space for them to breathe, to talk, to feel safe.
She’s the one who gets up early (yes, early!) to lead Jazz Band.
She’s the one who takes a budget that’s too small,
resources that are too few,
and still builds a music program that inspires and connects students to something bigger than themselves.
In her classroom, kids don’t just learn the notes—
they feel the music.
They share it.
They love it.
Her students call her “the best teacher in the world.”
And today, we proudly call her…
Amy McLean—Lewiston School District’s 2025–2026 Secondary Teacher of the Year!
