“Hayley was dedicated to putting her students first, caring for them, helping them to succeed. Hayley created a comfortable environment for all students - those who were academically gifted and capable and those students who needed help, guidance, and reassurance to succeed. She was dedicated to all of her students, and her classroom was warm and welcoming.”

"Education is too important to be left to the politicians and bureaucrats. Ordinary citizens and parents must get involved."

"I offer my strongest endorsement for Hayley Ross as a nominee for the Miami-Dade County School Board Member position. She possesses the qualities, experience, and passion needed to make a meaningful and lasting impact on our educational community."

"Hayley was an incredibly supportive colleague who cared deeply for the students under our care. She always took the time to know her students and adjust to their educational needs. EFL (Extended Foreign Language) was brought to our school due to her recommendation, and it has blossomed over the years thanks to her invaluable insight. She ensured that students were exposed to the arts by advocating for field trips to plays and The Nutcracker. During Hispanic Heritage Month, she’d provide cultural diversity by arranging EFL performances. Hayley also worked hard to stoke intellectual curiosity in her students. She was a huge proponent of the Miami Book Fair and would always secure seats during author visits for our 3rd graders. Whispering Pines Elementary earned an A status for many years, in part because of her students’ outstanding test scores. In every aspect, Hayley Ross is a wonderful asset to any environment. She would undoubtedly bring a positive and thoughtful influence to the school board."
