Cossatot River School District is proud to showcase our staff members in The Staff Spotlight! This edition features Suzanne Kesterson: "Hello, my name is Suzanne Quinnette Kesterson. Teaching is my passion! I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher. I teach 7th and 8th Grade Reading, English 12, and Transitional English 12 at Cossatot River High School. I graduated from Umpire High School and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) from Texas A&M University, Texarkana, Texas. Later, I graduated from Arkansas Tech University in 2019 with my Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) degree. I live in Umpire, Arkansas, and I am married with two sons, Dallas and Dusty, and a daughter-in-law, Emily. I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, fishing, hunting, playing with my poodle, Bella, sports, art, music, writing, reading nonfiction, and any outdoor and hands-on activities! This is my 15th year as a teacher, and my teaching philosophy is always teach from the heart. It is my goal as a teacher to be kind, compassionate, understanding, and enthusiastic for my students and to be a positive influence in their lives. Teaching for me means making a difference for kids. I feel very fortunate working with my school family and our community. I am honored and look forward to helping my students pursue their passions and accomplish their dreams!"
