Savannah is an amazing teacher. she is a widely trusted educator and we highly regard her classroom. she has found an amazing balance in instruction and respect, I feel like an equal when I speak to her, and do not feel shamed by not knowing something, or asking questions. She engages with the student body in a fun and bubbly way that entices students to participate, even on the hard days. Savannah is a gem of Journey, and we are grateful to her.
