  13. Centerville Elementary Meredith Rhodes Teacher of the Year “I am a strong believer in forming personal relationships with each of my students. Without it, instruction would be ordinary instead of that little something extra that will make it EXTRAordinary.”

  14. David Perdue Elementary Kathy Gibbs Teacher of the Year “In our classroom, students know that they are valued as individuals just as much as their learning is valued. My deepest desire as a teacher is to see my students become independent, critical thinkers in life and to see their success.” Top Ten Finalist

  19. Lake Joy Elementary Dennis Peavy Teacher of the Year “When all is said and done, my goal is for students and parents to know that they are important to me and the school. Each student is a real person with a teacher who realizes they are a unique, worthy and important individual.” Top Ten Finalist

  20. Lake Joy Primary Kaci Register Teacher of the Year “As a primary school teacher, I truly feel I am laying the foundation for learning that each child must have to succeed as an independent individual. I believe what students learn from Pre-K will be the basis for success in their education.

  21. Langston Road Elementary Deborah Johnson Teacher of the Year “Some people see kindergarten as not important in a child’s education; however, I know if I succeed in laying that foundation, they will have the tools to do well in life.”

  22. Lindsey Elementary Bernita Allen Teacher of the Year “Anyone that teaches with a desire and passion knows that it comes with a challenge but the reward of knowing that you were a change agent in someone’s life is so fulfilling.”

  35. Feagin Mill Middle Matthew Hunt Teacher of the Year “Humor is a way for my classes to bond, take risks, and enjoy the time we spend together. The times they laugh at me, the times we are silly, and especially those times when we laugh at ourselves creates a sense of community and safety that is conducive to learning.”

  36. Huntington Middle Ashley Reynolds Teacher of the Year “It is vital to realize we hold the keys to unlocking potential that our students possess. Showing students the importance of goal setting will help to succeed and exceed their goals as they become lifelong learners.” Top Ten Finalist

  45. Perry High Tiffany Frank Teacher of the Year “Every learner requires something different of me, but I have yet to find a child who is not worth the effort it takes to get inside their world. This philosophy is rooted in my ability to know who my students are and what motivates them.”
