Honoring Educators & Supporting Our Schools: A Lasting Tribute to Those Who Inspire and Shape Our Students
The QPS Faculty & Staff Appreciation Circle Fund was started to honor the teachers, administrators & other school workers who have made a difference to the lives of our students. The generous donor who created this fund wanted to make sure the memories of those who made an impact on his life lived on.
Any donations made to this fund will be endowed, meaning they are invested and never spent. The dividends from the fund will go toward supporting areas of need within our schools.

Jerry was one of first teachers I met at QHS. He was a great golf coach and always had a smile. Jerry and his wife, Sue, introduced John and me. We honor a great friendship.

Mr. Sherman was instrumental in my decision to become a music teacher. He welcomed all into his choirs and was respected because he demanded excellence. His care and concern for students were evident, as we all felt loved and accepted by him. His legacy lives on through thousands of former students who make music part of their lives and, for some, their careers. Thanks for the music, Sherm.

Tracy Bugh is doing amazing work through the Child-Family Mentor Program, connecting students who need extra support with caring mentors who help them build confidence and succeed. For many of these kids, having a mentor makes all the difference, giving them the encouragement and stability they need to thrive in school and in life. Tracy’s passion for helping students and their families is truly inspiring. Thank you, Tracy, for everything you do to make our community better!

I frequently look back at my years in public school at QHS and am grateful for the staff that taught, led, and encouraged me. From the amazing music programs, AP courses, vocational courses and competitive athletics, QHS offers it all at a high level.
