    Well done to someone I have known for years. She was a student of mine at Century High School and a coworker at Northview for several years. Also knew her parents and coached her brother Joe at Century. They didn’t and don’t come any better than her. Congratulations Obreoone.

    I have known Ms. Parker for a long time. She exemplifies these attributes both in and out of school. She expects and desires “peace” in her dealings with others, even when things may not seem to be fair in her interest. What an honor to be recognized with this award! Congratulations.
