“I have loved teaching for 21 years now, but this has got to be the height of it. Surrounded by talented colleagues and students in a nurturing, encouraging community setting, I feel rejuvenated every single day! There is a partnership here in which my students take what I have to share with them and express it using a multitude of talents. They have a sense of purpose and direction, self-awareness and expression that continues to grow and that I find myself thriving on, all cultivated by what has been created here at the Governor's School.”
