@dramaMPHSchoir @TNMathCoach @MPHSGoTigers The question asks for the sum of angles A and B - not just one of them. The secret is noticing the similar sides of the triangles and knowing what that means in respect to their angles.

3 years: I have built an engineering program, infancy to flourishing, for rural TN, secondary education.

Challenged the status quo; engaging industry partners and creating larger-than-life projects, that solidified a bond between community and the schools.

It has been a dream!

Dearest Students,
Thank you.

Thank you TODAY for every kind word; yummy morsel; and handshake.

However, thank you for A FULL YEAR of pushing; believing; and bettering yourselves.

Letting me share in your triumphs is all the appreciation I needed 👩🏾‍🎓👨🏼‍🎓

So proud of @MPHSThinkTank - high school students @MauryCoSchools. In one year they successfully earned 9️⃣ COLLEGE credit hours in #Engineering and OSHA 10 industry certifications!

(Some are FRESHMAN!)🤩

This is a crew of college and career ready students. @BillLeeTN #GrowMaury

@MPHSThinkTank @themessenger99 @cjmarczak @RyanBJackson1 @noah_whitwell @lgulledge07 @_madi_hay_ @NicholasWilkes3 @LSkae @jasmine_nketiah I think there was a calculating error - last I knew @MPHSChemistry was dueling it out for the top spot with some of my best students - some real smarties @MPHSGoTigers - I was just happy to be there.
