I am going into my 18th year of teaching at Hughes School. The environment I would like to establish this year is one filled with respect and good character. Our class makes up a family much like that found at your respective homes. My expectations are to challenge one another while showing support. Finally, I ask that you try to participate in class and take risks. I know this will be a great year and I look forward to getting to know all of you. I am here to help you feel successful! Let's do this!
