Mrs. Todd, a 6th grade English (ELA) teacher at Metter Middle School, is widely recognized by her peers as an educator who exemplifies excellence, leadership, and servant-hearted dedication. Now in her seventh year in education and fifth year at Metter Middle School, Haley consistently goes above and beyond for students, coworkers, and the school community.
