I am a William H. Maxwell grad from the class of 2007. The teacher that I would like to thank is Ms. Rushell White Elleston. She was both my English teacher and assistant principal. Throughout my high school years I had always appreciated her positive attitude and and cheerful personality. A time when she helped me that I appreciated the most was about a year ago on the day before winter break when I had to get my art portfolio printed and given to the college counselor by the end of the day. Overwhelmed by the hundred other things that I had to get done I had to do this at the last minute. Ms. White helped me get my portfolio and convinced our college counselor not to leave before I could turn in my college application and I still remember that day. Thank you.
