Visiting Teacher As visiting teacher at Falls Church High School, Mrs. Louise Rigdon acts as the liaison between the school, the home, and the com¬ munity. As a member of the staff of the Fairfax County Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, she offers a specialized service to each child. “A teacher must have had three years successful teaching experience and special training before she can qualify for a visiting teacher’s certificate,” Mrs. Rigdon explains, “and we only work with referred students.” Originally from McKenney, Virginia, she re¬ ceived a B.S. from Longwood College and did graduate work at R. P. I. and the University of Virginia. She taught both in North Carolina and southern Virginia before coming to Fairfax County in 1946 and to Falls Church in 1949.
