“Mykell (pronounced Michael) is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only is she there teaching the 8th grade to write amazing essays and be vocabulary, but she also is genuinely there for each and every one of her students. She is a listening ear when they need someone to talk to, and genuinely loves each one of them. If you were to ask any past or current student about Ms. Cox they would have nothing but amazing things to say. Definitely the favorite teacher around Excelsior.”
