As Southeast Alamance High School grows, new teachers join the herd of Stallion faculty. Many teachers were hired this year including Mrs. Teri Rasa. Within the Social Studies Department, Mrs. Rasa teaches World History. It is clear that Mrs. Rasa loves working with the students at Southeast.

A strong knowledge in her subject area, Rasa reflects on the experience she brings to Southeast. "There are a few things I love about my job. One is being able to share my interest and passion about World History and helping students have a greater understanding of why the world is the way it is. Another is helping students have the "lightbulb" moments. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student who was struggling with a concept suddenly grasp it and make the connection.
