“My daughter-in-law, Makaiya Spell, is a Computer Science teacher at Fremont High School. She is also the coach of the ESports team, the advisor for the Robotics club at Fremont and is the assistant coach for the girls’ Lacrosse team. When Makaiya graduated with her degree in Computer Science, she chose to take a pay cut in order to become a teacher. She works hard every day to help her students have an exceptional educational experience, whether as a Computer Science teacher, an ESports coach, or a Robotics coach. Weekends in the Fall and Winter she can be found either hosting or traveling to a Robotics competition, come Spring she stays after school each day to coach her Lacrossee team. I ran into a coworker recently who said, “Do you know Makaiya Spell?”. “She is one of my son’s favorite teachers!” Enough said. She is truly an amazing teacher. The students and school are lucky to have her on their team!”
