It would prove to be a recommendation that Frantum would easily live up to, launching a 36-yearcareer that surpassed her own dreams and expectations. She progressed from teacher to supervisor of instruction to principal of the school, culminating her impressive career with five years as a member of the Anne Arundel County Board of Education. She has been honored many times for her service and dedication to the Anne Arundel County School System, including the Anne Arundel County Executive Citation Award, County Council Award, Public School Award of Excellence and the Superintendent's Award.
