Over the years, I have felt nothing but support,
not only from my administrators but from my colleagues,
we're always challenging each other and being challenged to be
creative, engaging the students.
Um And our approach to teaching is not only thematic but
interdisciplinary and hands on,
which is the best way that students learn.
Um The students are the best part.
Um There's always a diverse group of students.
They come from really great families that also offer a ton of
support. It's kind of like that phrase like when you're here,
your family and that's really what it is.
The students just become a part of you um forever.
Um Being in kindergarten,
I get to see the students grow and go through the whole school
all the way to eighth grade and then to see them graduate.
It's just like a whole fruition of all the hard work from all
the teachers and it's really rewarding and it's just great to
see them come to school every day.
Excited to learn and happy to be here.
I might be biased.
But we're definitely the best place in the city for your
Children to get a great education. It's a safe place.
Everyone genuinely cares.
Um, not only about the Children learning but just about the
emotional aspect of your Children and making sure that they feel
supported in all aspects of their lives. Hi.
My name is Miss Rodriguez and I'm a pre k teacher here at
Patrick Henry prep.
Oh, well, I, over the past few years,
Patrick Henry prep has become my second home.
I started off as a student teacher and that's when I knew I
wanted to be part of the school family,
everyone from the teachers, the staff, administrators,
students and families,
they're just all so dedicated to this community.
And I'm very honored to be part of it.
Everything I do as an educator for my students.
They are the reasons why I do what I do.
They're so excited to come to school every single day.
They're motivated to learn,
they feel safe and they love helping each other as well.
And it just really reminds me of why I'm here being in pre K is
such a wonderful experience.
I love to make my classroom feel like my students second home.
I want them to feel loved. I want them to feel welcomed to feel,
um just like they enjoy coming to school and making it an
enjoyable experience for them that they can carry on throughout
their years here at Patrick Henry prep.
Our school community is truly one like no other from the
students to the families administrators and teachers and staff,
everyone is so dedicated to the community here and everyone
feels safe, families feel welcomed, the staff feel supported.
And it's really just a wonderful community to be a part of.
