Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness Mrs. Paulette Potter has been instructing the students at BFHS for seventeen years. She has been a teacher of social studies, where her main interest centered around Black History, and Spanish. As an instructor of Spanish, she laid the foundation for the beginning students so they would have a working knowledge of both the language and the culture of the Spanish speaking people. In addition to her busy teaching schedule, Mrs. Potter is also a guidance counselor. She takes great pride in helping the students over the rough spots while they are in school, and she tries to guide them in the right direction toward a meaningful vocation.

When she is in the classs-room, she shares her personal experiences with her students in hopes that they too may profit from what she has witnessed. Mrs. Potter states that her philosophy on life is, “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness equally”.
