C. M. Russell High School welcomes new teacher Kayla Hibbert

When Kayla Hibbert arrived at C.M. Russell High School, she discovered her job wasn’t only just teaching science. “College only prepares you for so much,” she said. Hibbert, a first-year teacher at CMR who also graduated from CMR in the class of 2020, said that college only teaches classroom management, curriculum and instruction, and other general education classes that teachers take. She said teaching is difficult and she has to figure out how to accommodate each student for their different needs. It’s not difficult for her because she says she enjoys what she does and likes to hang out with the students in a fun environment.
