Mary – Parent

“Mrs. Halcumb is an influential and passionate teacher.  She is straight forward and loves young people.  My son was a student of Mrs. Halcumb’s for two years.  He is plenty smart, but is one of those kids that really clicks for math and sciences,  is a strong reader, and yet struggled with writing.  Mrs. Halcumb offered just the right amount of scaffolding to challenge him, yet coach him to be confident in his approach.  He is now in college and doing great!  Mrs. Halcumb teaches with the perfect mix of seriousness about learning but with a fun approach.  She definitely relates well with young people yet clearly communicates high expectations.  My son and I will ever be grateful for the time he was under her tutelage.”
