The Enduring Impact of Ms. Annetta McIntosh
Miss McIntosh's journey into the world of education was built on a strong foundation. A proud graduate of Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration before completing her teacher certification in Business Education. Her academic pursuits didn't stop there; she later earned a Master of Science degree in Adult Education, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to learning and growth. This dedication was perhaps inspired by her own mentor at WSSU, Miss Gwen Hill, the Director of Admissions, who always encouraged her to "excel and be the very best that you can be." Miss McIntosh is a true product of her alma mater's motto: "Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve."
