"My favourite part about teaching at RDS are the relationships I have with my colleagues, students, and parents. Working in a supportive community like this, I am reminded everyday that we all have one goal: student success in body, mind, and character. This partnership is what makes my job so rewarding." Ms. Anna Recknagel, Art Teacher
