Sarah Kathleen McHaffie, 56, is a high school teacher at Cibola High School. In 2004, she was diagnosed with advanced lymphoma. The cancer spread to her stomach, chest and blood before being contained by a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. Her cancer is controlled but she said she has no intention to resign herself to worrying about it getting worse. A year after her diagnosis, Mchaffie went back to work at Cibola. Now, she is taking photography courses at UNM with the hope to one day obtain a Master’s degree in Art Education. Mchaffie has not lost a step in pursuing the things she loves in life. She said photography, dance and teaching are her passions, and she still pursues them all.
