I have many reasons that I enjoy working at Hays High. The students are enjoyable. The camaraderie amongst the math department and coaching staff.
Fun Fact: Many people do not know this, but in high school I worked at a country club where I was part of an ice-sculpting team. We took 2nd place at a contest at Crown Center.
