I enjoy teaching at TECS because this school puts a premium on teaching students to become effective communicators and responsible citizens—skills that I believe are crucial to preparing students to positively influence, shape and work in the future world. My colleagues are well-qualified, life-long learners who care about their students and hold those students to high standards. Their zeal, expertise, good humor, and flexibility are inspiring.

I must, as always, remain a mystery.
