When she began her first year, she quickly demonstrated that her enthusiasm and willingness to seek improvement would be an asset to our staff. I am happy to report that Joan is now one of our top teachers in the classroom.

Jomar is the embodiment of a ‘master teacher.’ Over years of instruction, she has honed her lessons to be full of strong content, and opportunities for active participation. Students in Jomar’s courses know she expects excellence from them, and learn to expect the same of themselves, all while increasing their appreciation for the sciences. Jomar’s classroom management style is no-nonsense, productive, yet full of grace and care for her students as people first, learners second.

I am thankful to have had the privilege of having her as my science teacher for all four years of high school. She stands out in my mind for having great enthusiasm for what she taught and instilling her love for science in her students. I can honestly say she played a large part in my high school career by challenging me to become the best student I can possibly be.

I have taught with Jomar for many years in a variety of classes and ages. She is a gifted teacher. She is able to keep all the students engaged during lecture time and her science labs are always well thought out and fun for the students to do. I am always impressed with how well she is able to draw out the quieter students in the class for class participation. She gets to know them one on one during lab times and gives them confidence to participate in answering questions or putting problems on the board.
She is passionate about the subjects she teaches and her enthusiasm rubs off onto the students.

Her classes are among the few that pump adrenaline excessively to me and thus always makes me excited for them. She is among the teacher hall of fame in my opinion!
