Teacher Faith Liston receives 2025-26 Teacher of the Year Award from school administrators

Sand Springs Public Schools is thrilled to announce the 2025-26 Teacher of the Year: Faith Liston of Charles Page High School!

Currently in her 17th year in the classroom, Liston serves as a dedicated English teacher at CPHS. Her impact on our students and the Sand Springs community is profound, driven by a belief that every student is capable of greatness.

For Liston, education is about more than just curriculum; it is about empowerment. Her philosophy centers on the idea that all students, particularly those overcoming challenging backgrounds, thrive when met with high expectations and academic rigor. “There is a sense of accomplishment,” says Liston, “that can only be earned on the other side of hard work.”

Congratulations to Faith Liston, our other exceptional finalists, and all of our Site Teachers of the Year! We are incredibly grateful for your dedication and creative contributions; it is a privilege to have you as part of the Sandite community.
