Leah Mineo makes learning fun! As the culinary instructor at Matoaca High, she is always changing the way she delivers lessons in order to keep kids engaged. Beyond the lessons in the kitchen, she genuinely cares for her students. She takes the time to help them navigate not only her class but all of their classes. She will look at their grades and help a student make a plan to get back on track. She has an investment in each student’s life and will reach out when she knows she needs help from others to be able to support students.
