We honor Ms. Lim and Ms. Aycock as our January and February Teachers of the Month!
While the world sees them as educators, their students see them as anchors. In their classrooms, these two are doing so much more than just grading papers—they are doing the heavy lifting. From sparking a genuine curiosity for learning to building the self-confidence our students need to succeed, they consistently go the extra mile to ensure no one is left behind.
Ms. Lim and Ms. Aycock make the difficult work of growth look like a joy, and we are so proud to have them on our team. 🍎

Mrs. Lewis doesn't just teach history and society; she shapes future leaders. Whether she’s in the classroom or on the sidelines coaching our athletes, her dedication to our students is unmatched.
