As a member of the College Park Dance Program, I've had the pleasure of learning under Ms. Stephanie Oliver as a student in Dance. She is an exceptional teacher and has been instrumental in building CPHS Dance into a flourishing and vibrant program. Under her leadership, enrollment in dance has soared, reaching unprecedented levels. The interest and enthusiasm she has generated among students are unparalleled.

Ms. Oliver has not only taught us the technical aspects of dance but has also instilled in us a deep passion and appreciation for the art form. Her commitment goes beyond the classroom as she continuously supports us in rallies, showcases, and beyond. Her absence would be a grave loss to all of us who have been positively impacted by her dedication and passion.

Removing Ms. Oliver from the College Park Dance Department would be devastating not only for the current students but also for the future of the program. We have witnessed firsthand the thriving environment she has created; the energy, community, and success stories all stem from her leadership and vision.

Students thrive under her guidance, and often speak of the positive, lasting influences she has had on their development as dancers. The connection she builds with each student is unique, fostering not just talent, but also confidence and camaraderie.

We firmly believe that Ms. Stephanie Oliver should continue to lead the College Park Dance Program. Her role is pivotal, and her impact is immeasurable. We implore the decision-makers to consider the overwhelming support from the student body and community in favor of Ms. Oliver retaining her position.
