"I try to always exemplify a spirit that is caring, principled and open-minded. I believe these IB attributes are the characteristics that allow us to be a part of a shared human experience and make connections that really matter," wrote Usher.
In a post on Buckhead Patch, the Garden Hills PTA congratulated Mr. Usher, and stated that he "brought a wonderful enthusiasm to our school, and is working hard to bring additional programs to Garden Hills, such as Junior Great Books."
