During the first week of May (May 4-8), we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week to honor educators who have dedicated their lives to teaching and inspiring students, ensuring they will be ready for what the future has in store for them. 

Many Bethel High School teachers have made an impact on their students, including Mr. Fultz, who has been a teacher for four years, two of them at Bethel, and teaches English 11.

Mr. Fultz is very passionate about the English language, which motivates him to guide students towards a successful future. Through his hard work and dedication, he wants students to remember that English is a part of our daily lives and is very hard to escape. 

When asked about the keys to a student’s success and how he fosters that, he said, “Students are responsible for their own success. Success requires hard work, dedication, and motivation. I foster an environment of continuous learning by reminding students that every day is a new opportunity and that our mistakes make us human. We should learn from them and allow those mistakes to lead to personal growth”.

Being a student of Mr. Fultz, I have always appreciated his ability to create a warm, inclusive classroom environment that encourages students to come together, and I wanted to use this opportunity to acknowledge the care and gratitude that he and many teachers at Bethel High School have shown to their students.
