Hello! My name is Layne Larson, and I am the English teacher and student council advisor at Lyman High School. Eight years ago, I left a career in human resources to become a teacher because I wanted to make a real difference in students’ lives, not just academically, but personally. Teaching has shown me that building empathy and meaningful relationships is just as important as learning the content.
I chose to be part of Networks of Support (or Raiders Connect as we call it at our school) because it closely matches my values and my hope that students see how they positively impact others and truly make a difference in the lives around them. I want students to understand that we all hold a part of this world, that even small actions can create ripples that make a lasting difference, and that they are never alone.
