    Working at South is exciting as I get to work with amazing people. I interact with the entire staff, incorporating strategies that increase student achievement. Together we implement interventions that improve student learning as well as strategies that impact the lives of our students and colleagues. Professional Development is rewarding for everyone: certified, classified, administrative and the students!
