Angela McElroy-Braun is the most dedicated and caring teacher that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She differentiates instruction to meet the needs of all her students. She never stops believing in her students and always helps them achieve their best.

As a teacher, she goes above the call of duty to make sure that her students have all the proper skills and opportunities to become participating community members. As a colleague, she gives up her time to help others and share her knowledge and experiences and through it all she stays humble and grounded. She truly is an inspiration to all that come in contact with her.
