Great Educators

Great teachers have a ripple effect on their students. They coach and mentor and lead by example. They plan feverishly, prepare endlessly and are willing to throw out their plans on a moment’s notice if that’s what it takes to reach their students. Most times, they have less than a year with each student, but their impact lasts far longer.  

This year, six local teachers have been nominated by their peers for igniting creativity, inspiring confidence and modeling perseverance in their classrooms. We salute them and the scores of other unsung heroes in our schools for making a difference in so many young lives.
