Teacher of the Month - January 2025

In cooperation with the Mayor's office and City Council, the Rotary Club of Okla. City recognizes an outstanding teacher in our community.

Cristy Gosset received her Bachelors of Vocal Music Performance degree, Vocal Music Teacher Certification, and Masters of Music Education degree from the University of Central Oklahoma and has taught for 24 years. She returned home to Putnam City Schools in 2007 and since 2020 has served as the Choral Director at Mayfield Middle School.

Cristy has contributed significantly to education beyond the classroom by mentoring over a dozen student teachers and providing professional development for teachers across the district and state, thereby shaping the future of education. 
 
She has demonstrated exceptional leadership through her roles as Putnam City Secondary Vocal Music Chair, member of the Putnam City Association of Classroom Teachers (PCACT) Executive Board, and tirelessly advocating for educators and students while contributing to district-wide initiatives, curriculum development, and professional growth. 
 
Cristy is the founder of the KIND Club at Mayfield Middle School, which fosters inclusivity, combats bullying, and creates a welcoming environment for all students. 

Cristy is a lifetime member of Sigma Alpha Iota, an International Music Fraternity that promises to encourage, nurture and support the art of music. She believes that teaching is a profound responsibility and a calling from God, striving to make her classroom a space of joy, creativity, and connection where students feel valued, supported, and capable of success.

Cristy spends her free time with her supportive family—husband Charles, daughter Amy, and daughter Danielle and her fiancée, Trevor.
