Quartz Hill High School Teacher Appreciation 2022 by Zach Mercier

QHHS Teachers... we appreciate you!

zmercier — 2022-05-02 16:18:56 UTC

The most wonderful part of teacher appreciation this year is that we get to actually SEE YOU and personally tell you, THANK YOU. Not from behind a screen... not from behind masks... but we get to look at your warm smiles and say, thank you... we appreciate you. You have persevered through yet another challenging and unique school year. You have challenged yourself to provide your students with the best possible learning environments that you can. You have created your third straight unique curriculum and you have done so quietly and professionally. You have performed super-powered feats because you are teachers... you are superheroes. Teachers, thank you. - Zach Mercier

What makes you such an awesome teacher is that you truly make an effort to engage with your students. You always do your best to make an interactive environment as well. I can tell you put a lot of time and thought into your class structure, as well as the assignments you put out. I appreciate that you really care about giving us unique material to learn and interesting films to watch. I loved having your Film & Literature class this year. I'm going to miss being taught by you once I graduate, but overall I'm so grateful to have had you as a teacher! Thank you for being there for us students! :) -Maddie Crawford

You have been such great teachers for my son Jason Uribe, and you have all made his freshman year such a great start to his high school career. He loves having each one of you as his teachers and always says such great things about you. Thank you for being such a positive influence and for truly caring about your students, you are all really making a difference and I appreciate you all so much!
Sincerely, Christie Uribe

Thank you for all that you've done to keep the IB program running at its best! I'm truly grateful for all of the guidance you have provided me to help me through these past two years. It's been a wild ride and I'll never forget that you were with me the whole way through. Keep bringing the world happiness!
