“I hope the legacy I’m leaving behind is to be creative, to speak for yourself, and to know that people care. North has really taught me the value of community and how important it is to care about others and in some ways it is more important than what you teach. My biggest plan for the future is to wake up whenever I want and to be able to travel and do the things I always wanted to do but never had the time for," said Rebecca Reber, social studies teacher.
