As one of her colleagues said, Lindsay comes up with creative ideas to motivate students and access their knowledge. Thank you so much Lindsay!
Trenia Logan is RCHS staff member of the month for February! She has done amazing things with the Opportunity School students. She motivates them and gives them a school experience. She has been setting up guest speakers for the students and working on their plans for after graduation. She had some visitors in the audience cheering her on!

When Trenia received this award, Bill and his brother Hayden came to support her! She also had some other graduates in the audience to support her as well. That tells you all you need to know!
