'It is a sense of pride and we have put a lot of investment into our students and our teachers are constant learners,' Lupo said. 'They want to better themselves, and it is very rewarding when we have professional conversations and we hear them talk about their students and talk about what they can do in order to make those students and help them move forward, and so it is just huge pride.'
