Lex La-Ray Technical Center New Staff for 2021-2022
Hi, my name is Ryan Tucker. I am excited to begin my first year at Lex
La-Ray Technical Center, as the Building Trades Instructor. I have worked construction/building for the last 22 years. During that time, I have owned my own remodeling business in Florida, before moving to Missouri in 2013. I then began working with a local contractor to learn the full building trade from start to finish. In 2015 I started my own business as a general contractor. The building trade itself is one of my passions, but another is teaching it. I am looking forward to a room full of students eager to learn this trade. I firmly believe in the saying-"Whatever good things we build end up building us!" I am ready to get started building with each student and my new career! ~Ryan Tucker |
Hello, my name is Sarah Chaney. I am so excited to be the new Early Childhood Teaching Professions instructor at Lex La-Ray Technical Center. Teaching, mentoring, and encouraging a new generation of childcare professionals and educators is something that I feel very passionate about. Teaching has been a wonderful and rewarding career path for me, and I hope to be able to share this with young people with an interest in this field. I look forward to also sponsoring the FCCLA chapter at Lex La-Ray. I have been blessed to spend 22 years teaching in the Lexington R-V School District. I began teaching at Leslie Bell Elementary, Early Childhood Special Education, then moved to second grade. After 8 and a half years, I spent 4 years teaching 5th grade at Lexington Middle School. Then I returned to LBS to teach 1st grade and then most recently 4th grade. I graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with a teaching degree in Elementary Education, Early Childhood and Early Childhood Special Education. I later earned my master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from William Woods University. My husband Lynn and I, along with our 4 children, Courtney, Kimberly, Dale and Misty live in Lexington. Our oldest two daughters have graduated high school and are working in our community. Dale will be a senior, and Misty will be a freshman at Lexington High School. Our family keeps busy with church and school events. ~Sarah Chaney
