Retirement Spotlight: Ms. Layna Kirchner 💙💛
After 24 years in education—17 of those at Scott City—Ms. Kirchner is retiring from the classroom.
Throughout her career, she’s taught a wide range of science courses, including high school Biology, Physical Science, Lab Explorations, Chemistry, and Horticulture, as well as middle school science and even 5th grade Wellness (Yoga). Her passion for science and curiosity helped shape the learning experience for students at every level.
Beyond the classroom, Ms. Kirchner is known by many as the “best hugger ever”—a reflection of the care and connection she built with both students and colleagues over the years.
She will always treasure her time at Scott City and the friendships and sense of family she found along the way. As she enters retirement, she looks forward to spending more time with her two children and five grandchildren.
Thank you, Ms. Kirchner, for 17 incredible years at Scott City Schools and for inspiring a love of science in so many students. 💙💛#SCWeR1

Retirement Spotlight: Mrs. Sarah Pruden 💙💛
After 27 years in education—all at Scott City—Mrs. Pruden is retiring, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, leadership, and love for literacy.
A 1991 graduate of Scott City herself, she returned in 1999 to begin her teaching career. She spent 11 years teaching 6th grade Communication Arts before moving to 7th grade ELA and later taking on 8th grade as well. In the 2016–2017 school year, she became the high school librarian, where she also advocated for including fifth graders in the library as part of the middle school experience.
In addition to her work in the classroom and library, Mrs. Pruden has served as publications adviser, overseeing all three yearbooks and the middle school’s quarterly newsletter—helping students find their voice and tell their stories.
Her connection to Scott City runs deep, with both of her sons attending school here—one graduating in 2017 and the other going on to graduate from Notre Dame High School in 2022.
As she enters retirement, she’s looking forward to “Nana” life and spending time at home with her dog.
Thank you, Mrs. Pruden, for 27 incredible years at Scott City Schools. Your impact will be felt for generations. 💙💛 #SCWeR1
