The latest instance came Monday, when "CBS Mornings" aired a two-minute segment highlighting her impact on Red Hook families through generations, as part of its weekly "Beg Knows America" segment.

Ms. Strever is the longest-serving active teacher in New York, according to records submitted by school districts annually to the New York State Education Department, and is the longest active member of New York State United Teachers. Her time at LAMS officially began in 1961, before Red Hook High School or Mill Road Elementary were built, though she also was a student-teacher at the school the previous year. In 1971, she became Red Hook’s math department chair – the district’s first female department head – a position she held for 49 years.

The Guinness World Records applications submitted include the longest teaching career in one school, the longest career for a female math teacher, and the longest-serving department head.
