And despite her students’ living, learning, and language challenges, Ms. Page-Baxter says that they continue to strive for excellence, no doubt because of her rigorous and hands-on approach to teaching. Ms. Page-Baxter wanted to be a teacher even as a young child, and she credits her parents’ unwavering love and support in helping her to achieve her goal.
