They all will be missed but I had Mrs. Phillips and she was a great teacher and a big influence on me and a lot of other kids.
To all of the retirees, CONGRATULTIONS, especially Ms. Angela Jackson. I am so proud to know that you have conquered another milestone in your life and gives me hope to know that I can do it also… Mrs. Phillips, you were one of my favorite teachers. I really enjoyed you in Biology. You also taught my son biology a couple of years ago… Press on ladies and enjoy what you have worked so hard for….
Ms Jackson, I don’t know what I am going to do next year. I appreciate the hard work you put into trying to prepare the students to be successful. I know that is the goal of all the teachers; however, we had a special endeavor. Thanks for everything.
