“Tupou Tua’one, or Mrs. T. as she is affectionately known, is the kind of incredible teacher who not only expects the best from her students but gives the most!
At Timpview High School, Mrs. T. is the coordinator for the AVID program, a lifelong learning and college preparation program that teaches students how to learn not just what to learn. She also spearheads the People of the Pacific Club and class, which culminates in an end-of-the-year performance of cultural and ethnic song and dances that are amazing and memorable for all involved.
As an exceptional educator, Mrs. T. is very involved and highly present in the lives of her students. Over the years, she has volunteered her time and knowledge as an academic resource for many student-athletes. She has helped hundreds of student-athletes with registering and completing online courses, arranging for tutors, and running many a study hall for those needing it. Her countless hours of educational service to my own three high school-aged children has given them confidence and a desire to succeed in high school and beyond! I cannot thank Mrs. T. enough for all that she has done! I am nominating her in hopes that this recognition will help her know how much she is appreciated by her students and their families. Thank you for your consideration!”
