Welcome to Royal: RHS English Teacher & Senior Class Sponsor Candice Ervin

Name, Title: RHS English Teacher & Senior Class Sponsor Candice Ervin

How long have you been at Royal? This is my first year at Royal.

What's your "why"? Because representation matters when serving students who may not have strong examples of what fortitude and grit looks like. And like Rita Pierson said β€œbecause every kid deserves a champion”.          

How do you contribute to the district mission statement of "investing in our tomorrow"?               Adding value to the students every day through making connections that will enhance both their professional and personal lives.

Favorite quote: β€œKeep your head up.” -Tupac
