“Do what’s right… not what’s popular.”

New Teacher Mentor, Cheerleading Coach and History Teacher Kristen  Strickland walks us through her educational journey, and how a volunteer opportunity confirmed her calling into the classroom. As an educator, Ms. Strickland advocates for families, coaches new teachers, and creates space for students to have a voice about social issues and current events.
