I first began working with La Vergne in 2002. In the years since then, I've enjoyed several opportunities to collaborate with this remarkably talented education professional. La Vergne has consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, great wisdom, and excellent leadership, and I've always learned something from working with her. She has high expectations for her students, and she holds herself and those around her accountable to high expectations as well; La Vergne's commitment to continuous improvement shows in her refreshingly direct, objective, and dignified manner of talking about the work and how it is being done. Her innovative approach to problem solving and her unwavering dedication to learners of all ages combine to make her the complete package in educational leadership. I enthusiastically recommend La Vergne for any position she might want to pursue.

La Vergne is very knowledgeable in her area of expertise and is a joy to be around in the work place. She excels at working with people and knows how to utilize her abilities and the abilities of those around her.

It is my belief that the best method to educate a child is the way that works. La Vergne is very insightful, and is not afraid to use her ingenuity in order to devise ways to reach her students. She understands that students today have new challenges and they must be reached and educated in different ways in order to properly prepare them for tomorrow's economy. She is a great asset to the community and a wonderful person indeed.
