I've been at North Star since it opened in 2003. This is my 21st year teaching Biology here (plus 14 years in summer school), and around 4,370 students have passed my class. I believe that this is a partnership between parents, students, and the amazing staff here at North Star; and I believe we can work together to ensure student success.
