➗ Celebrating Michelle Hall’s Retirement ➗
After 25 years in education—13 of them at Farmington Middle School—Michelle Hall is retiring from her role as a 7th-grade math teacher. Known for her fairness, consistency, and deep belief in every student’s potential, Michelle has helped countless learners tackle tough math concepts and emerge stronger and more confident.
Her impact goes far beyond numbers and equations. She’s inspired a love of learning, built a rock-solid curriculum with her team, and shown students that success in math—and life—comes from perseverance, patience, and positivity.
Michelle, thank you for pouring your heart into your students and your craft. You’ve made math meaningful and left a mark that will be felt for years. Enjoy every moment of your well-earned retirement! #AlwaysAKnight
