I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Edna for the past two and a half years. She is a dedicated and committed teacher who always pushes her students to succeed. Last year she her students showed significant improvements in math, so much so that she was given a shout-out at a HOPE all-staff meeting. She holds her students accountable and does not allow students to make excuses for missed or sloppy work; she holds them to what she knows they are capable of and they live up to the expectations. She is a role model for all.
