Rouse High School senior Nicole Quiroa, recognizing Ashlee Pope: “I selected Mrs. Pope, not only for helping me out, but for believing in me. She is the most dedicated woman when it comes to helping her students at Rouse High School - helping me with not only my grades, but my college applications. She made me strive and believe in what I wanted and what I thought was best for me, guiding me in the right path. Without her help I would not be accepted into a college and have the confidence I have now. Mrs. Pope really showed me to be an independent young lady, to have hope and to always have my head up, no matter what I come across to. A dedicated woman, I appreciate her for all the things she has done for me and helped me out in.”
