Stephanie Molchan:  

Life It's hard to summarize the 36 years since graduation in a just a few lines, but here goes: I went to school in Sherman and Denton for five years, finishing with a BA in Latin and an MEd in Secondary Education. I was married and divorced in 1976 to an RHS alumnus. I moved to Oklahoma City in 1976 and began teaching Latin at Heritage Hall in 1977. The following year I married again. We had our first child, a daughter, in 1982. I "retired" from teaching in 1984 to become a stay-at-home mom. The next year we had a son, who turned out to have multiple disabilities that included health issues. In 1986, my husband became a UM minister, and we moved to the first of several rural church appointments. I loved living in those small towns! Our third child, another girl, was born in 1990. I lost my mom to brain cancer in 1997. I was sick for about a year after that with pneumonia and then gall bladder surgery. I've experienced no major health issues since then, and even lost about 50 lbs two years ago. Our family served God in those little churches until 2004. Now the kids are grown, mostly healthy, and wonderful young people. The youngest lives at home with me, and is counting down the days until she is free(18). Her father and I are no longer together. My teaching job in Edmond gets better every year. I have 156 enthusiastic Latin students who brighten every day of my life. Some other interests I have had along the way, never thinking I would return to the high school classroom: La Leche League Leader for two years United Methodist Women member/officer for 18 years Sunday School teacher for about 25 years, all ages Vacation Bible School teacher/ director, 20 years at least Family support advocate since 2000 Active in disability services issues Served on the State Supt's Advisory Panel for IDEA Part B since 2002 I enjoyed some fun activities before I went back to work, like sewing, reading, and hiking.
