My middle child, Ella, will be entering the 8th grade at Haggard Middle School and my son, Ethan, is now a 6th grader at Haggard Middle School.

Why did you want to start the IB PYP at Huffman? I am passionate about finding engaging ways for our I.B. learners to aquire the skills necessary for a successful future. The I.B. P.Y.P. program helps students make real connections along with enabling students to have a voice with their learning opportunities.
