When Teresa White was in middle school, she began fostering a love for math. Today as a math teacher at Calvert Academy, she continues to channel that love by teaching her student to love math. For over ten years, she was able to teach at the same school where she grew up.
“When I first started, some of my old teachers were still working there,” she said, “and it was bizarre going from being their student to their colleague.”
Mrs. White was born in Florida, where she grew up with her parents and three sisters. Some of her favorite memories growing up include spending time with her family, traveling, and going on adventures. Now, she lives in Florida with her husband in Gainesville.
“Even though I lived here for college, I’m really excited to explore new things about the area with my husband,” she said.
