Meet Mr. Hayes
Passionate educator, lifelong reader, and student advocate.
Hello! I'm Amani Ansari, and I've been teaching high school English for over eight years. My goal is to create an encouraging, engaging classroom where every student feels comfortable sharing their perspective and growing as a writer.
When I'm not grading essays or leading classroom discussions on classic and modern literature, you can find me advising the school literary magazine and organizing our annual student poetry slam.
