Isaiah and Melissa May grew up on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation near Globe, Arizona. They met there, got married there, and when their own seven children started going to school, the couple saw an opportunity to do more as both parents and community members: They became teachers.
“We just knew it was a right fit for us because we wanted to do something for the community,” Isaiah said. “Being an educator gives us the opportunity to use our skills to help serve our community and make a difference in the lives of the children.”
