a safe and positive environment for our

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.000

faculty as well my daughter is

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.000
Leila she's in the first grade

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.500
she loves the school it was stem focused

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.000
and it was smaller classrooms and that's what

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.500
I was looking for I wanted more Hands-On involvement

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.000
with my child or academic

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.500
growth and her personality it's just blossoms

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:20.000
and she's been here

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.500
we're making your baking soda p he

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.000
believes the science technology engineering and maths

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.500
support our students future with the stem

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.000
education our students will have better life

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.500
they will have better job opportunities still

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.000
miss Hands-On it's interactive it's

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.500
fun you know it gives them the

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:40.000
opportunity to explore and to figure out and

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.500
I think MSC does a very good job of

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.000
just exposing them to that and then their

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.500
love for the field just kind of naturally

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.000
come

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.500
when

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.000
I grow up I want to go into computer engineering I get to

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.500
take a computer 3 times a week and

00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:00.000
I know that those classes

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.500
can help me increase my chances until getting in

00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.000
the college and the college path that I want

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.500
hurry up gets class

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:10.000
the students are an amazing students

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.500
I do my best to interact with them each and every

00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:15.000
day so that they can know that I'm not just a principal

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.500
oh I'm Thirty figure but I'm here to help guide

00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:20.000
them along their path and my greatest

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.500
gift is my teachers I have teachers who

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.000
actually loved children and who actually

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.500
want to be here and do this work I

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.000
think my role as a teacher just helps to

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.500
build our students to allow them to

00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.000
gain confidence and to know that

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.500
this is a safe place when you have teachers

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:40.000
like mine they make learning fun it's

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.500
just a safe school and fun to

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:45.000
be around with the teachers the people

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.500
you feel calm yes they teach like

00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:50.000
you also kind of like connect with them they know

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.500
you and they watch out for you I have told

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:55.000
a lot of my family and friends that this

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.500
is the happiest I have been in education

00:02:57.500 --> 00:03:00.000
my entire career

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.500
I like

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:05.000
to stay when students started MSE they don't

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.500
leave I enjoy seeing our students

00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:10.000
come back to work at our campus I

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.500
just smiled like a proud parent because those

00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:15.000
are the products that we produce

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.500
I actually graduated from MSC

00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:20.000
I was a part of the founding class and I always knew

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.500
that I wanted to be a teacher I feel very supported

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:25.000
here um at this school

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.500
from the top down MSC

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:30.000
is a great school is very family orientated it's small

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.500
so a lot of students come in they feel like it's home

00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:35.000
that's why I try my best to be as a role model from

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.500
a former student to

00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:40.000
now being an alumni employee so

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.500
I'm a fourth grade math teacher when I went

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:45.000
here I had some amazing teachers I

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.500
always was not good with math they made it

00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:50.000
very easy for me to learn I've

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.500
recently discovered my love for math while

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:55.000
teaching these kids

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.500
over the last

00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:00.000
years we've been a level 5 school

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.500
many of our campuses that is the highest level of

00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:05.000
academic success measured in

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.500
the state of Tennessee we measure our success by

00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:10.000
parent surveys we measure our success

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.500
by the fact that we have a waiting list

00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:15.000
and this is a secret gem here in the

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.500
Memphis Community they have 100% High School

00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:20.000
graduation rate 8004 and College acceptance

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.500
rate we borrow from 1 Campus to 4

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:25.000
and as we grow that means that we can impact

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.500
more students and hopefully they go to college and

00:04:27.500 --> 00:04:30.000
become successful City

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.500
citizens and that's the ultimate goal 1 2 3

00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:35.000
4 5 6
