Congratulations to Amy Brumley, FACS teacher at Omaha High School!

Amy consistently elevates her program through collaboration, creativity, and innovative learning experiences. Her work includes developing a classroom makerspace, integrating greenhouse projects, and leading cross-curricular initiatives with the business program. Her dedication and positive attitude not only enriches her classroom but strengthens the entire school community.

One of Amy’s colleagues shared:

“Amy is the kind of teacher you always want on your team. She is reliable, committed, and consistently follows through on her word. She has revitalized our FCCLA chapter and led students to both district and state competitions.
She continually seeks opportunities for her students - pursuing grants to improve her classroom environment and designing hands-on, meaningful projects using tools like the Glowforge, including personalized food trucks, cutting boards, and more. Her cross-curricular partnership creating stuffed animals for elementary students paired with books produced by business students is just one example of how she goes above and beyond. Amy is a remarkable educator and an even better human.”
