The group of individuals dedicated to the improvement of our National Honor Society Chapter and to the administration of service throughout our city.
Dr. Kristina Taylor, Advisor
I am a very proud graduate of Cypress Bay High School's class of 2005. After graduating from CBHS I decided to attend the University of Florida (GO GATORS!) as a first generation college student, where I earned my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Education. After finishing my first two degrees in 2009, I returned to Broward County Public Schools where I immediately began teaching. In 2011 I was selected as a recipient of the TEACH Grant by the US Department of Education. This grant allowed me to earn my Doctorate degree free of charge! After working in college administration for a few years, I realized that I belonged with the kids and returned "home" to CBHS.
I am here to support our kids in every way possible to best prepare them for life after The Bay.
On a personal note, I have two amazing kids- Khloe (10) and Ashe (4) who are excited to also be a part of our NHS family.
