8th Grade Teacher of the Month

Ms. Ramos 8th Grade Science

I am from the Philippines, a country in southeast Asia. I taught science to some of the most inquisitive and brightest high school students I could wish for. I came here in 2007 and had the privilege to teach at Jenkins and Savannah High. I took a hiatus from teaching and went back in 2017 to teach at Hubert. The experience I gained here is something that I will not trade for anything. I love seeing my students discover the wonders of the world they live in through the lens of science.

In my free time, I watch movies, listen to sappy old love songs, and spruce up my garden.

If I would give some advice, I would say give it your best in everything you do and soak up all that it could teach you. It always produces good result, but in the event that it doesn't work out, you still win because it made you a person that is better equipped to handle whatever comes next.

“Ms. Ramos doesn’t threaten to call our parents. Instead, she is walking us through the work without giving us the answers. She makes us think.” -Hassan R.

Meet Officer Richardson

My name is John Richardson. I was born and raised in Savannah. For the last 20 years I have worked in law enforcement. I am excited about my future endeavors as an School Resource Officer at Hubert.

Meet Ms. Tvrdy

This is my fourteenth year in education. Prior to Hubert, I spent ten years teaching high school sciences and the last four in middle school. I am a pretty busy soccer mom of two and married to my husband for seventeen years. I enjoy cooking when I have the time. Indian cuisine is my specialty, I like to make the recipes my own mother and aunts have passed down to me.

Students understand that caring — including the virtues of compassion, kindness, benevolence, altruism, charity, generosity, and sharing — is the heart of ethics and they strive to demonstrate a concern for the well-being of others by displaying compassion for those in pain or need by providing support in the form of donations and/or personal service.

Key Beliefs

I will be a better student if I act on the following beliefs. I can:

show care and concern for others. be kind and considerate even when others are not. help find a way to help others. show concern for others’ well–being. act compassionately and with empathy. be willing to show mercy and forgiveness.
