DEREJE CONNECTS WITH STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES!

Dereje enjoys building relationships with our students’ parents and families. He connects with them to share struggles to build support plans and to celebrate accomplishments. As part of the Re-Engagement Team, Dereje collaborates with teachers to determine the best way to motivate students, works with small groups to complete assignments, and is there for his students when they need social emotional support.

“I liked how you helped me work on my essays for my class… you have helped me so much and I want to thank you Mr. Tegaw.”

– Erica  (11th grade)

“The best part about working at HSHMC is that every time I have asked for help someone has answered the call. As a rookie, it feels amazing knowing that there are many people I can count on in my times of need.”

– Mr. Tegaw
