Teacher Spotlight: Hannah Vanscotter

23 January, 2025

The oil and gas industry is proud to partner with our communities all across the state. In fiscal year 2024, oil and gas tax of more than $279 million went directly to New Mexico public school. We've talked with teachers about how the oil and gas industry is making an impact in the classroom, in addition to the tax revenue dollars. 

First up is Hannah VanScotter, who teaches Energy Pathway, Science, and Math at Carlsbad High School. Here she discusses how the energy industry provides real world applications to her students, encouraging them to dive in to math and science knowing the value it will bring to them in future careers.
