Veteran educator Mireille Rabaté has dual citizenship in the U.S. and France and has spent the last 30 years in education.

A dual citizen of the U.S. and France, Rabaté spent about 11 years teaching in France, Norway and the U.S. before moving into administration, where she has spent the last 18 years.
