During lunch, teachers meet in offices to swarm their desks in search of much-needed papers for upcoming lessons and tests. Among them is Rondai Ravilious, who calls the history department her home away from home. She personalizes her workspace with photographs, a few wooden apples, and a ceramic pot labeled "cruise fund."1
Psychology teacher Margaret Jessell exhibits photocopies of her kids' hands and feet along with personal photographs to make for an exciting yet workable desk area.2
In the CAP office, the few desks in the room are packed with books and file cabinets, which is evident in James Mogge's tidy yet dense nook.3
In some cases, one can tell a lot about a teacher by looking at his desk. CAP teacher Lansing Freeman stuffs his desk to the brim where many humorous artifacts are hidden such as a READ poster of Freeman holding a book titled "Why Do Men Have Nipples?" He also has the movie "Lawrence of Arabia" stacked on top of papers.

In the math office, teachers keep their desks extremely neat. Peter Englemann collages his wall with newspaper clippings and pictures in ornate frames tucked away in a corner.5
Student teacher Faith Kim pastes a motivational poster, much like those in math classes throughout the school, to remind herself that "Failure Is Not An Option!"6
Directly behind Magnet math teacher Eric Walstein's desk, the Magnet program's mascot, the "robot vermin," scuttles around weakly after years of use. Across from this creature's home is Walstein's, complete with popcorn and a few trophies.7
English teacher Michele Gross lines her desk with old-fashioned wallpaper and photographs of a rabbit. Many other objects bring out the personality of Gross, such as the mug from the popular television show "The Office" and the collection of photographs.8
Among the sea of papers on teacher Keith Anderson’s desk is a toy penguin, a stuffed bear and a poster of a child saying, "Keith is the best!"9
