Tell us about the teacher, coach or administrator who made a difference in your life: My AP Statistics teacher, Mr. Pruitt, helped me expand my love for math by applying calculated data to more real-world questions and introduced me to skills that aided me in my AP Biology and AP Psychology classes. He’s a wonderful teacher and I’m grateful for the knowledge and teaching methods he employs.
