I am a third year teacher at Martin High School teaching in the Special Education Department. My husband and I have lived in Arlington for 26 years and both of our children have attended Martin. My work in the PASS program gives me an opportunity to work individually with students who have learning and behavior challenges that make it difficult for them to be successful in the classroom. PASS is an acronym for Pursuing Academic and Social Success. It is my hope that each student in our program will be able to learn new ways to deal with their personal challenges so that they can maximize their learning potential and enjoy their experience as a student at Martin High School.
