🌟Middle/High School Staff Spotlight: Tammie Guthrie 🌟
Tammie Guthrie has been part of Westville for 25 years and has spent that time building meaningful relationships with students and staff. Her favorite part of her job is working alongside so many awesome students and teachers each day.
A proud Westville graduate and Northeastern State University graduate, Tammie enjoys spending her free time with family and friends, gardening, and playing disc golf. She values the reminder that students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care—a lesson that has shaped her approach to education.
A fun fact about Tammie—she has played disc golf in 23 states! We are thankful for the care, dedication, and positivity she brings to Westville each day 🐝💜
🌟Elementary Staff Spotlight: Deserae Stewart 🌟
Deserae Stewart is in her first year at Westville and has quickly made an impact with the love and energy she brings to her students each day. Her favorite part of the job is the kids—getting to celebrate their achievements and share in their excitement never gets old.
A mom of four and a self-proclaimed old soul, Deserae enjoys all things “grandma core,” including sourdough baking, gardening, and caring for her chickens. She believes that effort is never wasted and that even when things don’t work out, there’s always growth in trying.
A fun fact about Deserae—she played softball from T-ball through her senior year and still calls it her all-time favorite sport! We are thankful for the heart and encouragement she brings to Westville each day 🐝💜

Middle school art students took on a fun and creative challenge by designing their own mini museums! Each student selected their favorite artworks, created labels, and built displays as if it were part of a real museum exhibit. To top it off, they also recreated a famous sculpture.
So much creativity, imagination, and attention to detail on display—great work, everyone!

Our cafeteria is excited to share that we received a Local Foods for Schools grant earlier this year, from the USDA, totaling $25,000! 🎉
This funding is designated specifically for purchasing locally sourced food, allowing us to support producers right here in our community. With these funds, we were able to purchase locally raised beef from H5 Ranch and fresh, locally grown vegetables from Westville Gardens—both located in our own school district!
We’re proud to partner with local vendors and bring fresh food straight to our students’ plates. We’re already looking ahead to next school year and hope to apply for the grant again, with plans to expand our list of local vendors so we can include even more fresh, locally grown products. 💜
