“The last several years have been so challenging, in so many ways, for these kids. It is comforting to know we have someone like Tracy in their lives. She is the true definition of the word hero!”ĭocksey’s commitment to her students recently earned her the Cherry Creek Hero award, an honor that celebrates those who commit extraordinary actions on behalf of the community. In Docksey’s case, that extraordinary action comes every day, in every one of her classes, for every one of her students.ĬCSD Superintendent Christopher Smith visited Liberty on April 5 to personally give Docksey her plaque, and to celebrate the unique work she does every day on behalf of her students. Smith stood alongside Susan Mayer, Morgan Mayer (now a freshman at Grandview High School) and Marleigh Mayer, Morgan’s younger sister who’s a seventh-grader at Liberty. Docksey has shown the same commitment to Marleigh that made her time with Morgan so special. “One of our core values here in the district is building relationships. You know this, and you know how important it is to be loving, caring and compassionate to your students. It’s not just these two it truly is all of your students,” Smith said. “It’s not about every, it’s about each, because each child is different. You lean in to each child in a different way and make sure that you differentiate your instruction. I just wanted to thank you so much for what you do.” You offer care and compassion to every single student. The value of Docksey’s approach was clear for Morgan Mayer. From a student first starting her middle school journey, nervous about her enrollment in AVID, a college preparatory program, Morgan has grown into a confident high schooler, ready for the next challenge and equipped with the skills to succeed.
