Nan Kantor worked as an evening math instructor for Paradise Valley Community College for several years. She taught math at Paradise Valley High School during the day while teaching evenings at PVCC. She cared deeply about and believed in her students and their success.

Joyce Janiga selected the verse and graphic as a tribute to Nan. The PV High School Math Department has also included the framed verse as a tribute to remember her and her contributions to the school, her colleagues, and her students.
