JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- Educators make a difference in students’ lives every day. For many students, having a school employee who cares and goes that extra mile can be the difference in a successful education and graduation. We’ve all had that teacher, or school employee who inspired us or helped in some way. That’s why WLAF and Eagle Tire Pros salute all of our hardworking educators with a weekly feature.
Amanda Robbins is Eagle Tire Pros Educator of the Week. She currently teaches Culinary Arts at Campbell County High School.
“I am truly honored to be recognized as Educator of the Week! Teaching has been such a rewarding part of my life, and I feel blessed to have spent the past 20 years doing something I genuinely love,” Robbins said.
Robbins earned both her bachelor’s degree and Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Lincoln Memorial University.
“Throughout my career, I’ve learned that teaching is about so much more than lessons and textbooks. It’s about building relationships, encouraging students, and hopefully making a difference in their lives along the way,” Robbins said.
She spent 16 “wonderful years teaching kindergarten”, where she “had the joy of watching little ones learn, grow, and discover what they were capable of accomplishing.”
“Those years will always hold a special place in my heart. Today, I teach Culinary Arts at Campbell County High School, and although my students are a little older, I still get that same sense of joy from watching them learn something new, gain confidence, and take pride in their accomplishments,” Robbins said.

When she’s not in the classroom, she and her husband, Jan, enjoy spending time on their farm along the Clinch River and making trips to the Smoky Mountains.
“I love the simple things in life and am grateful for the opportunity to spend my days doing work that brings me so much happiness. I’m thankful for the students who have been part of my journey and for the many memories I’ve made along the way. I can’t imagine having chosen a more rewarding career,” Robbins said.
