I've been teaching at Waite for 15 years, and I love it! The teachers at Waite have become great friends because we share so many of the same goals for our students. We want every student to feel loved, safe, and confident that they can succeed in life. Education was MY only way out of poverty and it has opened so many doors for me. My goal is to help open doors for my students as well.
