Ms. Georgia Day
College: She attended Western Carolina where she achieved her bachelor’s degree and then went on to N.C. State, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Fayetteville State to earn advanced degrees.
Subjects: Grad Point and Intervention
Inspiration: Being a former Apex student, “Elizabeth Mata (current Spanish teacher at Apex) because she made learning fun and interesting.”
Teaching history: “A long time about 20 years.” Day previously taught at STEM Early College High School.
Best High School Memory: Playing volleyball and lettering in swimming her senior year at Apex. Also, competing in the Foreign Language Competition with Ms. Mata.
What do you miss about the “old” Apex? “The old school colors- green and gold- the ones now are like Appalachian States’ colors which is Western’s rival!”
Most Embarrassing High School Memory: “When Ms. Mata asked to demonstrate the flamenco dance. I said no.”
Favorite Color: “Red for N.C. State”
Favorite TV Show: Call the Midwife because it is about new life and people who can’t afford medical care in Great Britain.”-
