Mrs. Wilcox’s love for mathematics and love for her students resulted in a career that spanned 20+ years teaching Advanced Math, Trigonometry, Algebra and Calculus. Mrs. Wilcox enjoyed explaining complex topics to eager minds such as “Quadratic Equations” and the satisfaction of seeing these student’s work problems and obtain the correct solution.
