Phillip
Special Education Teacher, Lake Myra Elementary School
"Wake is far more diverse than any other county in the state, not only culturally but in so many other ways. No two kids are the same and the challenge of helping them learn is more fulfilling than any other teaching experience. WCPSS has given me the opportunity to grow with professional development, as an educator and as a human being."
