Get To Know Amanda Fandal

As you know, Liberty has a new magnet coordinator: Amanda L. Fandal. Ms. Fandal is from Slidell, Louisiana. She attended LSU and majored in Mass communications. She then got her masters in education also at LSU.  Before she became a teacher/magnet coordinator she actually wanted to be a veterinarian, specializing in wildlife. In fact, she finished college with a minor in wildlife ecology.

 

Ms. Fandal started working in EBR schools in 2008 as a science teacher at Westdale Middle, which means that she has about 16 years of experience. She started working in magnet schools in 2015. Years ago, she was the magnet site coordinator at McKinley Middle, which was one of her favorite jobs because she got to be a part of a “wonderful school community”, she told me.

 

Ms. Fandal also mentioned that she had the opportunity to work closely with both teachers and students, fostering strong connections. She loved showcasing the school’s strengths to families helping them see just how special the school is. She was excited when she learned that she could do the job again at another great school! And that’s when she decided to come to liberty. She is looking forward to these three things in this upcoming school year:

​

• Getting to know the faculty and students at Liberty. 

• Recruiting new students to come to the school

• Attending athletic events!
