Mme Nora Abied offers high schoolers a French dual enrollment course through UMKC. Tenth and eleventh graders now earn three college credits by enrolling in Mme Abied's French Language and Literature class. Mme Abied is a college professor and high school teacher in one! Her graduate work focused on both French literature and education. In addition, she wrote a book titled "Mon Choix, La Loi, La Liberté" which examines immigration and identity in her home country of Belgium. She enjoys teaching at ALIHS because of the diversity of her colleagues and also loves the "family" atmosphere of the school.
