MIDLAND, Texas — Halston McCalla is a middle school math teacher at the Young Women’s Leadership Academy and she is ready to have her classroom seats filled with her students again.

“We are really excited to get our girls back in the building,” says McCalla, “through COVID, we worried about our kids a lot so waiting for the first day where they walk through the door. I know that’s what we’re all looking forward to the most.”

Once school is back in session, McCalla explains how students aren’t the only ones that have to get back to work.
