SELMA, AL (WSFA) -
If you can't find April O'Neal in the classroom, check the ball field or the gym. The math teacher from Southside Middle School in Selma, Alabama is a real Class Act. Ms. O'Neal has a lot of energy. "I try to teach so its easy to understand," O'Neal said. "I always smile, and the kids always say I never have a sour day."
Ms. O'Neal played softball at Alabama State. She's been in the classroom for the last three years. "I love the challenge and believe there isn't anything I can't overcome. The kids are a challenge but I love it. When you get to know them, they are softer than they seem."
Outside the classroom she coaches pretty much everything. "Basketball, volleyball, and softball, I like them all."
Whether it's on the court or in the classroom, Ms. April O'Neal is a real Class Act.
