Kerry Happe, teacher

Happe's colleagues have this to say about her: “Kerry is a wonderful colleague and friend. She is someone you can go to, whether it is school related or personal, and she will always have a sympathetic ear and be ready to give thoughtful advice. The qualities that made her a great friend are also what make her a phenomenal teacher. She listens to her students and gives them what they need both academically and emotionally. She differentiates in her classroom through grouping and alternating her teaching style in order to give every student in her class their best opportunity to learn. She has created an environment of both love and respect to ensure that her students feel safe and excited to learn. Kerry embodies exactly what a great teacher should be.” 

Chase Tauscher, student
