Why I am Committed to Cross
- Cross Middle School features dedicated people devoted to enriching the lives of our students through quality education, and I love being a part of the culture here!
- Our students are enthusiastic, curious, and kind! By developing student leaders to be the best versions of themselves, we promote a healthy campus and an easier transition into middle school for all our new students.
- Our campus is beautiful; we have mature trees, grassy lawns, and a plethora of different bird species to observe and enjoy! The owls are my favorite!
Defining Moment in my Education
- My very excellent high school Advanced Biology teacher, Mr. Giffin, was so energetic and entertaining, that from 10th grade on, I knew I wanted to become a teacher!
Why I Teach
- I believe every student has an innate interest in science and I teach to continue to foster that inquiry and curiosity in this subject.
- By spreading my enthusiasm and humor, I serve as inspiration for my students so that they can inspire others!
