Neva Cozart may be a fifth-generation educator, but she recalls it was never her intent to follow that path. It was a realization about her own children that led her to the classroom.
Her 31 years of elementary teaching have all been at Prairie Valley School, and they came to an end as she retired this past week.
With so many teachers in her family, it seemed a foredrawn conclusion she would come to school. Her mother, Helen Ferguson, coached at Nocona and PV and taught at Saint Jo and PV. She also taught other subjects and after she retired taught homebound.
“She taught until she couldn’t,” recalls her daughter. “She was the middle of seven children and all but one was an educator, the only boy was a professor at Perdue University, while the others were first-middle school teachers and principals. I never dreamed of being a teacher. I got the retired teacher scholarship and completed my basics, then I didn’t know what was next.”
