From Our Community

Andrea Markham
Andrea Markham, Coordinator of Post-Secondary Engagement, Central Support Team

"What I love most about watching students learn and grow is seeing them connect today's actions to tomorrow's opportunities and realizing they're ready for what's next.  I get to witness students move from asking, "Can I really do this?" to looking back and saying, "I did that."  Watching them step into college-level coursework, discover career paths, and gain confidence in themselves is what makes this work so meaningful."

"The most rewarding part of my day as a teacher is helping a student work through something they’ve been struggling with—and then suddenly, I see the light in their eyes as understanding clicks into place. Those lightbulb moments bring me immense joy!"
