Margaret G. Goode,
Maplewood Middle School, Sulphur, Calcasieu Parish was
named State Middle School Principal of the Year!!
Mrs. Goode has been an educator for 34 years and has
served as principal of Maplewood Middle School since
2003. Borrowing the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, she
believes that “the secret of education lies in
respecting the pupil.” Education must be personalized:
We know that every individual student has the capacity
to grow, develop, and learn; we must discover the
elements of an individual’s learning styles and
interests through building relationships; and we
must design interactive lessons focused on the
individual’s needs in order to put together the puzzle
pieces that show us the personalized picture of helping
our pupils achieve their goals .
