If I can help anyone at any time, please don't hesitate to contact me. Friend me on Facebook at Tisha Burdett Newland. :)

Moved to Forest Hills School District at start of 6th grade year. It was hard for me to feel like I fit in since it seemed most students had attended elementary school together.

Really wasn't very involved until Senior Year when I was Vice President of Cooperative Office Education (COE). Just started enjoying AHS when I had to move on. :)

Worked senior year as secretary for the Forest Hills School District AV Department and Mr. Parks.
