Our thoughts and prayers are with the students, faculty, and staff of Chamblee High School as we mourn the passing of CHS's beloved Spanish teacher, Señora Theresa Anderson. For more than a decade, she poured her heart into teaching Spanish 3 and 4, guiding her students not only in language but in confidence, curiosity, and compassion.
We will miss her deeply — her warm smile, her caring presence, and the way she made every student feel seen and valued.
