Shelby Lynn Williams ’21

Is there a teacher or teachers who made a big impact on you?

My Vocal Ensemble teacher, David Nolan, has had a tremendous impact on me as a George School student and an individual. He has attentively taught me about the world of musical theory, advocated for me, and been a person to confide in.

My AP English teacher, Avery Stern, taught me to embrace ambiguity and that there does not always have to be one correct answer or solution to a problem.

I took Intensive Biology with Karla Stucker. She was one of the most well- versed and passionate teachers I have ever had, and was always willing to meet with me if I was confused about any material.
