The future is calling, and our education majors are ready to answer! 📚🍎

During today’s internship meeting and placement release, students learned where they’ll complete their final semester, discovering the schools and classrooms where they’ll gain invaluable hands-on experience. This milestone marks the beginning of one of the most meaningful chapters in their journey to becoming educators.

Throughout the semester, they’ll be supported every step of the way by Director of Clinical Experiences Ms. Christy Waters, edTPA Coordinator Ms. Connie Sparks, their university supervisor, and their cooperating teacher. Together, this team will provide the guidance, mentorship, and encouragement needed for a successful internship experience.

Here’s to a semester of growth, learning, and making a lasting impact in the classroom. Congratulations, future educators… we’re cheering you on every step of the way! 👏💜✨
