Nancy took such good care of me as a "baby teacher" at CHS. I'll never forget the wisdom, wit, and stories she shared with me during visits to her office. I know there will be some hearty laughs in heaven as she takes her place with the angels.

I remember her hugging me during graduation and she said " You are will be a huge inspiration to others in the future." True enough I am now working with High School Grads and College student by teaching them work experience. Thank you for always guiding me to be a better version of myself.
