Where Jamaicans live in Atlanta
Reprinted from the Daily view * Monday, May 5, 2008 Home girl salutes NCHS' top teacher Clayton County District Attorney Jewel Scott, left, congratulates North Clayton High School Teacher of the Year Robert Infantry, IB and AP English teacher, at the NCHS Teacher of the Year reception held Wednesday in the media center. Infantry, giving his philosophy on teaching, said: "Teaching allows me to grow. I enjoy the interaction with my students. Some days I learn as much as they do. Ultimately, I am rewarded by their enthusiasm, excitement and interest, and their desire for further exploration." There was a wonderful fare of Jamaican food served that was catered by the Roti Shop on Highway 138 that included rice and peas, meat patties and jerk chicken. There were approximately 100 students and staff present along with the administrative staff. Presentations were made by his classroom students and those in the Honor Society that he sponsors. The Assistant Principal Chauncey Nash presented him with a blue sapphire paper weight, Dr. Ray Hill, the principal, who said, "Mr. Infantry epitomizes the word teacher," presented him with a blue ring. Other gifts were presented from the English department and Scott, who is from the same parish in Jamaica as Infantry. The event was coordinated by NCHS Counselor Cato Waters, and Chemistry and Science Teacher Marian Eaton. Photo and information submitted by Gladys Coleman, NCHS media specialist.
