Ashley Fitzgerald, Special Education Teacher I made this decision back in high school, after working with the best buddy program which paired me with a student with an intellectual disability.

Holanie F. — 10th Grade Mrs. Brianna because she is special. She is a really fun teacher. One time, in class, I was able to fix Ms. Ashley's smartboard when 3 other teacher's didn't know how to fix it. Everyone is helpful, all of the teachers are great. I really enjoy class, but I also like volunteering off campus. At school, I really enjoyed learning how to do money math. Sierra Academy will help you!
