Early College High School (ECHS) teacher Mrs. Anne Lawrence was selected as the 2019 Outstanding Teacher as part of the LA Clippers Teacher Appreciation Program. Mrs. Lawrence was recognized for her hard work and dedication to students.

Mrs. Lawrence has greatly influenced students as the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) senior seminar teacher, in addition to her regular role (math teacher or whatever regular teaching assignment she has at the school). She also serves as a California College Application Success Campaign committee member and developed the feature sophomore project, a project where 10th-grade students create a virtual nonprofit organization, to be a community-involved experience.

“Mrs. Lawrence is extremely committed to our students, always willing to do what it takes to ensure their success,” said ECHS Principal Dr. Dave Martinez. “She never ceases to amaze me and we are proud to have her on our team,” he said.

Mrs. Lawrence will be recognized at an on-court ceremony on November 7, 2019, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

This is the third year in a row that an ECHS teacher has been recognized by the Los Angeles Clippers. Past recipients include Mrs. Treffner (2017) and Mrs. Wurn (2018).
