Student Life
“Mr. Mansfield really cared about the quality of work in AP Calculus, and about his students demonstrating their capabilities and pushing them to the limit, both academically and athletically. In Mrs. Draugsvold’s class I learned how to question authority as well as sources, and how to think about the world from my own perspective. I still think daily about some conversations I had in her class. I wouldn’t care about Hemingway if not for her.”
