Abigail (Abby) Lugo, a Business Education Teacher at St. Louis Park Senior High School, integrates BestPrep’s career-focused programs into her classroom to help students connect lessons to future opportunities, making learning both relevant and engaging.
A key component of Abby’s classroom is BestPrep’s eMentors program. Through one-on-one connections with professionals, students gain valuable guidance and insight into a variety of career paths. Abby has seen how these mentor relationships boost students’ confidence and help learning feel more personal and impactful.

In addition, Abby regularly requests mock interviews through BestPrep’s Classroom Plus program, viewing them as essential to career readiness. “Without actually doing a mock interview with someone besides me, it doesn’t feel real to them,” Abby shared. “BestPrep gives students the opportunity to truly apply what we learn in class.”
Through these experiences, BestPrep has become a trusted partner in Abby’s classroom, helping students build skills, confidence, and a clearer vision for their futures.
