15 Original Staff Members Left In School's 15th Year
Mathematics teacher Kristina Francis said the growing support for the school’s extracurriculars was exciting to see over the years.
“One of my favorite things is seeing the school become a school,” Francis said. “Traditions that did not exist and incredible programs, clubs and activities grow, and students get behind that.”
While the school’s activities have changed, the subjects Francis taught have not differed much. She said her subject matter remained similar, but technology led to certain changes in learning methods. Francis said that of all the classes she taught, her favorite was AP Statistics.
“It’s so applicable,” Francis said. “Everything we do there helps in any field. You will benefit from knowing how to understand research and data.”
