Lynn Gatlin
Counselor Lynn Gatlin shares her best and brightest students with a pre-engineering program to increase their opportunities.
Then: A counselor at a rural high school without funding for a calculus class. She encouraged students to participate in Central Technology Center’s pre-engineering education program, which
- Shows students they do not have to be “super scientists” to study engineering.
- Prepares students for college-level calculus and physics.
- Gives Davenport High School’s best and brightest students the advanced math and science classes many rural schools cannot offer.
Now: A counselor who eliminates students’ fears of science and math, Lynn helps them get advanced classes in high school so they will have the background to be successful in college.
