Who Dat?
Are you ever walking the halls of our lovely school, pass a random adult that you don’t know, and wonder who the heck they are? You probably think, “whatever, she’s probably a librarian or something” or “must be a substitute”. Teachers who teach English, Math, or other required curriculums are the most well-known because, well, everyone has probably had them at least once in their academic career. We are a small school, and I think it’s important to put a spotlight on educators who work just as hard as the rest of the staff but don’t teach a core subject. I didn’t know who they were at first, but now I do.
