FAVORITE THING ABOUT PACT
When hired at PACT, her husband told her to work at PACT until able to get back in the district. By December of that year, he told her never to leave. More than 25 years later, she has no intentions of ever leaving. The families are what keep her here. PACT is full of parents who care not only for their children but for everything that impacts them in their lives - including their education. It is hard to imagine a better place to work every day. She truly loves this school and what it stands for.
