Congratulations to Mrs. Lyla Cook and Mrs. Deborah Britton! Mrs. Cook was named the 2025 -2026 Veterans Memorial Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Britton was named the 2025-2026 Veterans Memorial Support Staff of the Year. Mrs. Cook serves as our lead special education teacher. She leads the special education department at VMMS with knowledge and compassion. Mrs. Cook is committed to making sure her students and all students receive a high quality education. She is often one of the first staff members to arrive and one of the last staff members to leave. Her dedication and passion for her students and department is truly commendable.

Mrs. Britton serves as our front office clerk. She is often one of the first people you will encounter at VMMS either in person or on the phone. Mrs. Britton is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that the front office is running efficiently. She willingly puts in additional hours during the summer or after school to give 110%. Her passion and pride for VMMS is contagious.

Veterans Memorial is blessed to have both Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Britton on staff. Rangers Lead The Way!
