Testimonials

 

“Deb Tackmann is one of the most conscientious, hard-working, dedicated teachers I have ever

worked with in my years of educational experiences, and the plethora of local, state, and national

 recognition that she has received is a credit to her professionalism.”

 

                                                                        Susan L. Kern, Assistant Principal, North HS

 

“Deb has a very keen sense of motivating her students while making the information taught relevant, pertinent, and practical.  Deb truly is an educator who ‘makes a difference’ in the lives of her students every day.  She molds, shapes, and even, in some cases, saves lives as she teaches daily.”
