Rachel Baong named Red Deer Public’s Edwin Parr nominee
Building relationships with students and watching them grow has been a top highlight for this year’s Red Deer Public’s Edwin Parr nominee.
Rachel Baong, a Grade 4 Teacher at Gateway Christian School, said she always knew she wanted to be a teacher.
“I’ve always loved learning, and I love school,” she said. “I grew up as a child of educators – my dad is a Principal and my mom was an Education Assistant. As I did my undergrad degree in English and History I spent a lot of time tutoring and I really loved it. Then I pursued an after degree in Education.”
In her first year of teaching, Rachel said there have been many highlights.
