    Ms. Arnette is very deserving of her promotion. I really like the way she incorporates all aspects of history into her study programs. Having even managed to work art into her history studies. This has given her students a introduction to the paintings of the great masters. Something they may not have been exposed to otherwise. If I were in school again, I would love to be in her class!

    Ms. Arnette will be missed at Tate, I am sure. She is a wonderful teacher and inspired both of my children to love history. I know my son will miss having her for DE European History during his senior year.

    Cherie Arnette is awesome. I have worked with her in the DAR and she is one of the most intelligent people you will run into. She inspires her students, and keeps history alive and relevant. Good choice.
