Shout Outs
Mrs. Kathleen Johnson – USP History Teacher
Mrs. Johnson is an amazing teacher! She is really funny and very helpful. She will help you and answer any questions you have. Thank you Mrs. Johnson!
Two daughters are attending the University Scholars Program onsite in both the High & Middle schools. The staff and teachers have continued to instill the love of gifted learning.
Ms. Rebecca Ding – Math
Ms. Ding is worthy because she is the most supportive math teacher I have ever had. I was really struggling with some things in math and she took the time to help me study and become better at it before the big test the following day. I am really glad that she is my teacher because she is always an email away and willing to help.
