We appreciate all the effort she puts in to her first graders!

Ms. Powell of Pflugerville High (via Rose B.): Ms. Powell has always kept up with my daughter’s academics and made sure she walked her through her choices when it came to scheduling her classes that often had conflicts due to being an athlete that often took AP/PreAP courses and is a dual credit student. Even in my daughter’s senior year she continues to help her make the best decisions when deciding what courses to take and even sat with her and contacted the department academic advisor at the university my daughter will be attending to help her map out what dual credit courses she should take that will transfer to her future university. Thank you Ms. Powell for always looking out for her.
