ONE STUDENT AT A TIME WITH AMANDA O’NAN

Question. What project or accomplishment is the most significant in your career?

Answer. Each day a student finds success is really the best feeling. Every now and again, I have students who are homeless, who face horrible tragedies, and who often are labeled as failures long before they become teens.

Our school is truly one of the finest.
