“Her dedication and love for her students. She gets to know each of her students on a personal level which really makes a difference in a teacher. And she cares!!! She is so sensitive to people’s situations but always knows how to push them so they can be better.”
-Austyn Tarrant
“Mrs T is an incredible teacher and an amazing person. The lengths that she would go to for any of her hundreds of students, current and graduated, are endless. She genuinely cares for each person she comes across, making them feel loved and special.
I have a friend, the quietest kid I’ve ever met, in choir. He’s been struggling recently, and Mrs T made sure to ask me about it. On days he wouldn’t come to school, she made sure he was safe and that my friend knew that she wanted him to come the next day. Even if my friend isn’t the loudest, most noticeable person in our choir, Mrs T notices him and cares for him personally, and I know she would do the same for any student.”
