No one knows more than me that making a lasting positive difference in the lives of her students while always striving to raise the quality of the teaching profession has been Angie’s lifelong passion. She is so deserving of this recognition!" Mr. Roberts said.
I feel Angie’s loving energy every time I am around her! She lights up when talking about her students and I believe they would all find her worthy of such an honor... my father was a high school mathematics teacher and it’s no easy task. It takes a special kind of lov, caring and devotion to reach children and make a difference. Angie is one of the special teachers who’s heart reaches all who are around her.!
I have had the pleasure of being married to Angie for 32 years.I have seen her grow in her career as an extraordinary teacher. I have had many experiences of being in restaurants, malls, movie theaters and grocery stores where grown children have approached her and have stated “Mrs Roberts you were my favorite teacher!” She has changed the lives of her former students and their families as well. I am very privelaged and proud to call her my wife. She was absolutely born to be a teacher.
