February 2023: Mathew McGuire!

A colleague nominated Mr. McGuire, our music teacher, for his commitment to being a positive role mode and team member.

This colleague is always working to do the right thing for scholars and for their colleagues, whether it's the way they always pitch in for a scholar shout out or the way that they always speak about their Advisees with love and compassion after they have held them accountable for a bad choice. They are passionate about their class and make scholars passionate about their class as well in a way that extends beyond school. This colleague creates true positive, lasting change.

This colleague consistently goes above and beyond for our scholars. They commit to tons of research and content creation for their curriculum, build in scaffolds to meet the needs of all our scholars, and are always practicing a strong growth mindset. They are a positive, joyful, and encouraging presence for both our scholars and staff to be their best selves every day!

Congratulations — thank you for all you do!
