Lawrence Latin teacher wins national award after program cut
Latin Puckett, who taught at Lawrence for 11 years, received a 2022 K-12 excellence in teaching the classics award from the Society for Classical Studies. The district cut the Latin program as part of 64 million dollars in budget reductions, though he accepted a transfer to English and later moved to KU as a financial aid adviser. He will attend the awards ceremony virtually in January and will continue mentoring Latin students independently.
