Parent Kristina Schultz Tanner had this to say about Mrs. Hughes: “When guided by an excellent teacher, enthusiasm towards education itself can be contagious! My daughter has had the unique opportunity to be a student of Mrs. Audrey Hughes, who motivates her students to explore science on a practical level, especially with her after-school Science and Energy Team work. In a mere matter of months, she has transformed a handful of students into an energized organization that is actively working to educate others about recycling and energy conservation as they themselves learn through trips to the ACC Recycling Center, joining Terracycle and spearheading a school wide recycling campaign, and even seeing a local farm and learning how food is produced and distributed to grocery stores.
