Congratulations to Jaheim Davis and Stephanie Minghi! This 7th-grade tag team from West Middle are the Certified Rookie of the Year and Mighty Mentor.
“You would never know Jaheim is a first-year teacher! He is always ready and willing to jump in and help with building-wide initiatives,” Minghi wrote when she nominated Davis. “He is positive, energetic, smart, kind, firm and eager. Jaheim has an unconventional, yet effective way of teaching that captures students’ attention and he is very well-loved by his students.”
And, in his nomination of Minghi, Davis wrote that she “truly made my entire first year of teaching feel like a breeze through her unwavering support and generosity. Her proactive, selfless mentorship not only helped me grow professionally but also strengthened our school’s collaborative culture, embodying exactly what a Might Mentor should be.
