One perk of working Barton Academy for Advanced World Studies is location. Another is choosing the weekly elective you teach, a film class that meets on Tuesdays. Add in a film production just blocks from school & that equals happy Ss. Thanks to Amanda Jones, Ed.D. & Cody for making this happen & Josh for helping!

I am so incredibly proud of my Barton Academy for Advanced World Studies faculty, staff, students, parents, and community!
