My Students

I am privileged to teach 45 outstanding students. My students are very inquisitive, creative, and extremely clever. We are a Title I school where over two-thirds of the population receives free or reduced-price lunch. Even through adversity, these students are still resilient, excited, and enthused about learning.

Our school is very culturally diverse, extremely competitive, and we strive for excellence daily.

Willing, ready, and always trying to stand out above the rest, we need to produce competitive scholars for the future. We are shining stars and would love to shine with or above the rest.

My Project

With the uncertainty of COVID-19, I want to stay prepared and be proactive with the new norm of teaching hybrid - face to face and virtual. I need a second monitor to maximize daily instruction and cut down of toggling back and forth when delivering instruction. I will also be able to use the second monitor for easy access to the digital resources available. The webcam and wireless keyboard mouse combo will definitely come in handle for hybrid teaching. I can move around and stay connected and have all engaged.

Also, let my students stay connected with a real world matter by having the Just Mercy books.
