     Madeline Handwerk, a sophomore at HAHS, states, “A good teacher is somebody students feel they can go to, because not everybody has a good home life.” Maddie’s example of a good teacher at HAHS is Miss Heckman and Mr. Hetrich. Madeline states that Miss Heckman was so kind which made her a good teacher, and Mr. Hetrich because of how funny and easy to talk to he is.
