Teacher breaks Guinness World Record after teaching at same school for more than 60 years

Glenda Akin has set a new world record for the longest career as a female teacher at the same school. After 61 years and 43 days at Westmoreland High School, her dedication was officially recognised. The milestone was celebrated with a special ceremony on September 13, 2025.

Akin began teaching at Westmoreland High School over six decades ago. Her commitment to education has spanned generations of students, earning her widespread respect in the community.

The Guinness World Record was presented to her by school board member James E. 'Jim' Hines. The event marked her achievement as the longest-serving female teacher at a single institution. In further recognition of her service, the school library has been renamed in her honour. The decision reflects Akin’s lasting impact on the school and its students.

The record-breaking career of Glenda Akin now stands at 61 years and 43 days. Her name will remain part of Westmoreland High School through the newly dedicated library. The school continues to honour her decades of service.
