Purdue Polytechnic coach creates safe space and healing environment for students

April’s Golden Apple Award winner is Miss Liz Retana, but everyone calls her Coach Liz. She’s a special education teacher at Purdue Polytechnic High School – Broad Ripple, where teachers are called coaches, because they coach students through school – and life. That includes the good moments and the tough ones. Coach Liz is an Exceptional Learner’s Coach who does this with exceptional care. She also helped the school heal when something tragic happened earlier this year. See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
