Ashley Hernandez Wins FL Award in Sarasota

 

Math teacher Ashley Hernandez catches her breath after the excitement of her Milken Educator Award surprise. Ashley's positive attitude in the classroom encourages students to work hard, and they do. AP Statistics has grown from 45 to more than 100 students in the five years Hernandez has taught the class, and pass rates on the AP exam have risen steadily, surpassing the state. Success breeds success—students see others doing well and are encouraged to challenge themselves, with many continuing on to higher level math in their studies.
