Congratulations to Mrs. Czarzasty our 2024-2025 School #3 Teacher of the Year

The students and faculty of Southampton have truly become a family to Mrs. Czarzasty. She looks forward to coming to work every day. Her students bring smiles to her face as they grow and learn. Our faculty is the most welcoming and compassionate group of people she has ever been around. Mrs. Czarzasty feels blessed to have a long career in a district that she loves!
