Mike Judge, Science Teacher

“We don’t have a one dimensional sense of what intellectual journey means. We have a very expansive sense of what that means. Whatever young people come to us wanting to pursue, we are happy to walk with them on that path. And as we walk that path, our job is to show them that the path may be a lot wider than they originally thought.”
