Mrs. Cleggett was my 5th grade teacher in 1985/86, she was tough but fair and made her students to reach further than we thought was possible. I owe a lot of my academic success from 5th grade and through graduate school to her. I am so glad God allowed her to be my teacher. Felicia Osei

My sincere condolences to the family! Mrs. CLEGGETT was my 5th grade teacher in 1984/85. She is the reason I pursued my degree in elementary education. She made such a positive impression on generations of students.

Mrs. Cleggett was my 5th grade teacher in 1978. One of the few Black teachers I had back then. I can’t overstate the impact her mere presence had! I tell Mrs. Cleggett stories to this day! I think about her often. R.I.P. My condolences to the family.
