Heather Stoecklein is the 2021 Maryville High School Teacher of the Year! Heather teaches upper level science, including Project Lead the Way and dual credit courses. During her 19 years at MHS and her 25 years of teaching, Heather has also coached volleyball and track, sponsored HOSA and Octagon, and touched thousands of lives. She finds the relationships she builds with kids the most rewarding part of her career. The following is from her nomination letter, “I’ve seen her give up her lunch for kids, give up her planning hour for kids, give up her evenings for kids. She will do whatever it takes to help them succeed. . . .she loves with her whole heart...she’s all in all the time...she cheers for them, she cries for them, she celebrates their victories with them.” Heather is a graduate of Northwest Missouri State University. She lives in Maryville with her husband Matt, also a teacher at MHS, and four children. Spoofhound Nation is grateful for the hard work and many talents of Mrs. Stoecklein!
