My name is Gail Stephens, I have been working at Tolar Junior High for 9 years. I teach 7th grade English. I am the National Junior Honor Society Advisor for our campus, and I coach TJH Cheer. I am originally from the Prince of Whales Island in Alaska. I graduated in 2000, and  I joined the Army to go to warmer places (lol) and ended up at Fort Hood, Texas. I met my husband while we were both stationed there. We have been married for 21 years and have two amazing boys. Michael, who graduated from Tolar in 2021, and Jasen in 2022. Jasen is currently attending Cisco College and playing football.  I enjoy being outside, off-roading, camping, fishing, hiking, and biking. I also like to watch movies, read books,  and spend time with my family. I absolutely love teaching, and I know that this was God's plan for me. I am also up for an adventure! We love to help our local military veterans, and we love the Tolar community and all the amazing people in it.
