Tamara Hoover (born 1977) is an art teacher who was forced to resign from her position at Austin High School in Texas, a part of the Austin Independent School District, for allegedly being the subject of explicit photos that had been posted on Flickr, a public photograph sharing website, by her girlfriend Celesta Danger, a photographer for the Texas Rollergirls.[1]
The photos came to light in April, 2006. Students who had seen the pictures notified another teacher, who then notified school officials. The offending photographs have been removed from the site.
Hoover was put on paid administrative leave on May 17, 2006. In August 2006, Hoover agreed to resign, with the board paying her $14,850 (US).[2] She was replaced by Abby Mandel of Shelby Township, MI.
In 2008, PC World ran a story titled "Say Cheese: 12 Photos That Should Never Have Been Posted Online". Hoover's photos were ranked number 8.[3]
