PHOENIX – After nearly 15 years as a social studies teacher for the Phoenix Central School District, longtime teacher Helen Abbott is getting acclimated to a different role this year.
Abbott began a position as the academic dean at John C. Birdlebough High School for the 2017-18 year.
Her familiarity with the students and faculty, combined with her passion for the greater Phoenix area, has made the transition a seamless one, Abbott said.
“I like working with the students and staff,” she said. “Phoenix is an amazing community, and I love being part of this community.”
Abbott noted that there have been changes to the Response to Intervention and Information and Communication Technologies initiatives provided at the high school.
These changes, she said, will require additional support from a variety of personnel, but that is a challenge she is ready to tackle.
“I am looking forward to working with and supporting students and teachers in these areas,” Abbott said.
