Guthrie Public Schools is mourning the loss of longtime educator Charlotte Mitchell, who passed away after dedicating 31 years to the district. A respected and beloved teacher, Mitchell impacted countless students and colleagues throughout her career.
Her family announced her passing Monday morning.
Mitchell began teaching in 1987 at Langston Elementary School before joining Guthrie Public Schools in 1993 as a 5th-grade teacher at Guthrie Upper Elementary School (GUES). In 2010, she transitioned to 6th-grade Social Studies, a role she passionately embraced until her passing.
Known for her warm smile and dedication to students, Mitchell left a lasting mark on the GUES community.
“In the thirteen years I had the honor to work with her, she earned my respect and admiration as an advocate for students,” said Guthrie Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Mike Simpson. “As both a parent and colleague, I’m saddened by the loss of Ms. Mitchell. Not only did we lose an excellent educator, I (along with many) lost a friend. She will be deeply missed.”
Many others shared their memories and thoughts on social media.
“I’m so lucky I was able to have you as a teacher. You will always be my favorite.”
“One of the best! She had such an impact on all three of my boys! She will be greatly missed!”
“Guthrie has lost an amazing woman. I know she was one of the best; my kids all loved her. Fly high, Miss Mitchell.”
Counseling services will be available for students and staff who need support during this difficult time. Those in need can contact GUES Principal Mrs. Wilson-Adams for assistance.
