About

Durant High School opened its doors in August 1995. Under the leadership of the first principal, Ron Frost, the school made great academic and athletic gains. Ron Frost was an energetic and enthusiastic leader. Mr. Frost established a strong foundation by presenting a qualified faculty, inspiring students to reach higher, encouraging parents to be active partners in school activities, and requiring the best everyone had to give. He truly believed that this school was a place where students should "pursue their dreams."

This philosophy has been paramount to the success of Durant. Principals, Sherri Sikes (19971999), Joe Perez (1999-2004), and Pam Bowden (2004-present) have remained committed to Durant's guiding philosophy and have continued to inspire both faculty members and students to "pursue their dreams."

Teacher: English Language Arts

Greetings and blessings! I am a teacher at Durant High School in Plant City, FL (GO COUGARS!) and believe that, in my 4th year as a teacher, I have found my niche: EdTech apprentice, supporter, and practitioner. I PASSIONATELY believe in the power of technology to transform education for students all over the world. I SINCERELY believe in its ability to offer equitable education despite a student's socioeconomic background and personal experiences. I STEADFASTLY believe that ANY technology that I use is only as meaningful for my students as the depth of knowledge that I have in its implementation. I ZEALOUSLY believe that technology allows for ownership over the PROCESS of learning so that gains in learning are aligned with the development of a "Growth Mindset": an education of the heart , mind, and spirit.
