Currently spearheading the AgSTEM pathway at Washington High School, Ms. Cobey-Williams’ impact continues to blossom in the school and community.

“Ms. Cobey-Williams: She did a lot for me and I think I could literally speak for the entire school when I say that she gave us strength.
You could tell that she did her job with passion and she made sure that she always faced her students with a smile and just pure energy. Individually, for me, she gave me hope. She saw a lot of potential in me and made sure I was involved in a lot of academic activities which made my high school experience just better overall. I could thank her for so much more but if I could name a few it’d definitely be those.”
