Why you love being a Chieftain: I went to BCS from kindergarten through 12th grade. Being a Chieftain is all I’ve ever known. I had many great teachers who inspired me to go into the profession.

Classroom motto or quote to live by: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin
