Mr. Rhodes is one of this week’s Jr. High Champion Teachers! These are Jr. High staff members who were nominated by peers for relentlessly championing our students. Here is what Mr. Rhodes’ peers had to say about him:


“Mr. Rhodes exemplifies what it means to be a Champion. I am inspired by the caliber of emotional intelligence and empathy he brings to every conversation with students. He fosters an environment where students can be themselves and where they feel empowered to make thoughtful behavioral and academic decisions. His impact on 9th graders in Study Hall this year has been transformative! I believe the dedication to student success that James demonstrates has made OPA a better place.”


Thank you for everything you do, Mr. Rhodes!
