Teacher Tuesday Spotlight: Ms. Segrid White.

Today’s interview was conducted by the US Digital Media Team (Mason Crowder, Brody Williams, Alex Kreger, JT Eberhart).

HA US DM: What is your favorite thing about HA?

Ms. Segrid White: There are so many favorites that I have about HA since I have been teaching here for over 25 years. Teaching is not just a job to me, it’s my life! Coming from a family of educators, I always saw the importance of education and HA has been the perfect fit for me. Being given the freedom to explore different learning techniques and styles by my supportive administration has allowed me more opportunities to share and make learning an adventure with all my students. When my students see that I love math, they love math!

HA US DM: What are some things you love about the new lower school and flexible seating?

Ms. Segrid White: I love that my students come to lower school so eager to learn. I enjoy watching them learn a new concept and wanting to teach it to others in the class. Another favorite about HA is my co-workers. It’s a joy to teach with other teachers that share a passion for teaching. HA has the best of both worlds:  students and teachers. Two quotes I use a lot are:  if it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you and mistakes help you learn better.

HA US DM: If you had a theme song, what would it be?

Ms. Segrid White: I would use two songs for my theme song:  ‘Count on Me’ by Bruno Mars and ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams. When my students feel happy and know that they can count on me for support and guidance, they perform better! I see that almost everyday!
