Lori Oglesbee, JEA’s newest Yearbook
Adviser of the Year, has advised the
yearbook at McKinney HS for a dozen
years. Prior to that, she advised yearbooks
at a junior high and  high schools in
Louisiana and Arkansas. Her varied
locations  and grade levels have provided
her with a wide range of  experiences
to draw upon.

A nationally recognized yearbook adviser
and workshop instructor,  Lori is known
for her generosity. She gives, then gives
some more. A regular staffer at Taylor’s
Adviser Development workshops, 
Lori astounds attendees with her store of
knowledge and seemingly limitless resources.

Through her generosity, she encourages the
possibilities in people.  They feel renewed
and ready to take on new challenges when
armed with fresh resources.

Lori Oglesbee, a master teacher by any
definition, is in a league  of her own when
it comes to her contributions as a yearbook
adviser,  an educator, a presenter,
a committee chair, a workshop coordinator,
a curriculum developer, an author, a judge,
and a mentor.

Congratulations Lori!
