"Ms. McNaughton is a fantastic teacher that not only taught me science, but also how to ask questions and explore the world... Ms. McNaughton taught us how to think critically, and allowed us to apply those skills to make an impact... I cannot fully describe in words the great teacher that Ms. McNaughton is, and I believe that everyone can benefit in so many ways from her teaching."

From her dedication to create the best learning experiences to the extra time she takes to connect with every student, Ms. McNaughton goes above and beyond to see others succeed.
