Mandi is certified in early childhood through 4th grade, PE, and ESL (English as a Second Language), and has taught PE, 1st grade, 3rd grade, and 2nd grade at Meridian. With experience in primary grades at a charter school prior to teaching in Alief, she was excited to return to the charter experience at Meridian.
