Amanda Cason has been selected as Teacher of the Year at Riverdale Academy. Mrs. Cason was selected by her peers for her positive attitude and her love of math, the subject she teaches.

Faculty members say she makes learning fun, while holding students accountable. Her students love her class, even though she teaches a difficult subject. 

“I am so blessed that Riverdale chose me. When I became a stay at home mom, I said I would never go back to teaching. The Lord had different plans. Mrs. Jamie asked me to come teach about 6 years ago, and I told her I would have to think about it. After lots of praying, I am so glad that the Lord led me to RA. I found where I belong,” said Cason.

Mrs. Cason is loved and well respected by all at RA–her colleagues, students and the parents. 

Cason added, “I am so thankful for my wonderful group of friends/colleagues, and I couldn’t ask for a better group of students to teach. And to top it off, I get to see my own kids throughout the day. Thank you RA for being such a blessing to me.”
