Does Ms Iris Carter like what she does?

“I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” she said.

Carter, from DC, has been in Waynesboro since 2004. She has worked as a teacher’s aide in William Perry, substituted at KCMS and is now in Waynesboro High School. Carter said she likes what she does, teaching and helping, because she has never had problems. All her students are nice and respectful, she said.

“If you want respect, you have to give it,” said Carter.

Even though Carter has been busy with the two clubs that she helped bring back to WHS, the Interact Club and the Step Team, she plans to retire in about eight years. Carter does feel like she makes a change in school.

She said, “Education is the key to success.”

Carter says that the Waynesboro public school system has some of the best teachers.

“Our administrative team is a class act,”

In other words she likes the way they run things. However, she wishes the school was cleaner, but she likes the school climate. She also wishes the school had security cameras.

Carter said she helps with college applications she teaches girls to be young ladies, teaches boys how to be young men, provides advice when asked, and provides discipline.

“Every child should have a caring adult in their life,” said Carter.
