Escambia Schools Announce Their Teachers Of The Year

October 31, 2017

Teachers of the Year have been named at each school in the Escambia County School District.

Each teacher on the list has been selected by their peers and they represent ingenuity, dedication, compassion, organization, and so many other traits shared by teachers in their schools. They teach subject areas and how to use technology, but they also teach life skills and employability skills such as teamwork, time management, and social responsibility.

Each has been honored by their school and they will be honored at the District level at the Golden Apple Awards set for Jan. 26, 2018. Sponsored by the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation is a special night when each of these outstanding educators will receive their Golden Apple. The top five will receive special recognition and the overall Teacher of the Year will be announced.

Several North Escambia area Teachers of the Year have already featured with a front page photo on NorthEscambia.com, and we will continue to feature them over the coming days.

    Wow! Congratulations to all of the teachers who truly deserve recognition. Special thanks to my friend Donna Lucas for all the challenges she has endured. Parents, lets keep our children in prayer because there are so many dangers in and out of the school setting and it helps when there are genuine teachers and faculty members who operate with complete honesty and integrity. Those are the ones who make a positive difference in a the lives of our children. Congrats to all of the truly great teachers who are not named on the list this year – keep up the great work. You are greatly appreciated!
