Women’s History Month takes place through­out March every year. Its purpose is to commem­o­rate and reflect on the vital role of women in Amer­i­can history and soci­ety today and acknowl­edge their accom­plish­ments. This month, students at Justice cele­brated female teach­ers and staff who consis­tently support their students and keep this school thriving. 

Leah Reid is a market­ing educa­tion teacher who has been work­ing at Justice for 3 years. She taught Busi­ness, Market­ing, and AP Econom­ics in Beijing, China for three years before coming to Justice. “Ms. Reid is very passion­ate about what she teaches and is dedi­cated to seeing her students grad­u­ate and build a robust life plan,” said sopho­more Mohamed Aziz. “She allows her students to develop a better under­stand­ing of the world of market­ing.” Reid loves the Justice commu­nity, includ­ing the students and teach­ers that make it enjoy­able. “My depart­ment of busi­ness and market­ing teach­ers are really strong, friendly, and make it a joy coming to work every day,” said Reid, “Every­one is so polite and consci­en­tious- there is great comradery here!!” Reid plans to stay local further down the line. “My husband and I just bought a house a mile from school, so we plan to raise our kids here and have them attend Justice in about 15 years.” 

Victo­ria Lisle is an IB Psychol­ogy and History teacher who has been work­ing at Justice for six years. “Ms. Lisle is very caring and is passion­ate about help­ing all her students,” said junior Israel Rivers, “She makes sure you under­stand the content and is very easy to talk to about anything.” Lisle loves the rela­tion­ships she has built with other students and staff at Justice. “[I enjoy] meet­ing awesome people here who I love getting to know and learn from every day,” said Lisle. 

Sarah Kelly is an IB English teacher who has been work­ing at Justice for ten years. “I love being a part of the English depart­ment here and we have a lot of great English teach­ers so it’s been really fun work­ing with them,” said Kelly. Junior Kait­lyn Gardell expressed her appre­ci­a­tion for Kelly. “Ms. Kelly is an orga­nized and warm-hearted teacher and advi­sor. She is help­ful and teaches the class in a struc­tured but open-ended way,” said Gardell. “She also encour­ages opin­ion-based discus­sion which I think allows students to better connect with education.” 

Thank you to all the female staff at Justice for all you do and the contin­u­ous impact you have on the school and the students. Here’s to cele­brat­ing Women’s History Month at Justice!
