Former student of Tracie Blackman of the Potter Career Center writes:
"Mrs. Blackman believed in me when most didn't and encouraged me the whole way. She is an instructor who is not only knowledgeable but cares about the success of each and every student. I have accepted my dream job, Director of Cosmetology Education in San Francisco, California. I can't thank her enough for seeing something in me before I could."
