| Ms. Merrell, a Special Education teacher | 375.1 KB |
Have you ever wondered who the special education teacher is? Well, her name is Ms. Merrell. She teaches all grades here at SJHS. “She is hilarious!” said ninth grade student, Katrina Britt. Not only does she teach special education, but she is also the girls basketball coach!
“Merrell is great at everything,” said Mrs. Porter, the assistant basketball coach.
Ms. Merrell loves everything at SJHS, but her favorite thing would have to be the students. She started teaching special education last year. According to Ms. Merrell, the purpose of peer tutors is to help students with disabilities to succeed in school with learning and social situations. Peer tutoring in high school really inspired Ms. Merrell to be a teacher.
All of her students adore her. Kylie Childs and Michael Price, both ninth grade students, said that “She is really funny!”
Not only do students love her, but teachers do too! Mrs. Porter said that she is nice, and has lots of energy, but in basketball she can get pretty heated. Not a lot of people know that she played volleyball in college, and Mrs. Porter said that she could have easily played basketball too.
