Testimonials

Staff member, Ms. Tyrie Spurlock

Ms. Tyrie Spurlock - SECA

Hefferan STEM has always been my HOME. I have been a part of the Hefferan community since 1983. I graduated from Hefferan and have now been employed here for 24 years. There is no place I'd rather be than Hefferan STEM School!
