It can not be said enough about the collaboration amongst staff, administration, and my amazing co-workers. I love how everyone is one family and supports each other during the best of times and worst of times. A day never passes in our hallways that teachers are not greeting each other with a smile and encouraging each other for the day! There is no other place in the world I would rather be than where I am today!

I met by best friend and to this day 50 years later we are still best friends. 👩🏻‍🏫What was your favorite class? My favorite class or teacher stirs a lot of memories for me. My teachers from kindergarten through graduation were and are to this day have each provided me with the ability to be the teacher I would like to believe I am. 📣What was your favorite extracurricular? My favorite extra curricular activity was being co-captain of the what we called then the Flag Drill team. I loved getting up in the mornings showing up on the football field with the band preparing routines and practicing to march and show our spirit not only at the football games, but parades as well. ⭐What was trending when you graduated? Clothes, songs, movies, etc. Bell Bottom pants, hip hugger pants to high wasted jeans and tie dye shirts. Music was rock and roll from the Eagles, Peter Frampton to Bob Dylan.
