Ransom Middle’s Powell Named Blues Angel Music Educator Of The Year
December 27, 2017
Katherine Powell of Ransom Middle School in Cantonment has been named the Blues Angel Music Foundation 2017 Music Educator of the Year for Escambia County.
Powell is the choir director at Ransom. Throughout the year, she has worked to grow and improve the school’s choir program.
In 2016, Powell was named one of Escambia County School District’s Champions of the Arts for her innovative technology-based curriculum for elementary general music. She is also the assistant director of elementary and middle school choir with the Pensacola Children’s Chorus.
“Teachers should want to teach and be willing to put in the incredible amount of work it takes to be a good teacher,” Powell said.
Adam Koppin of Rhodes Elementary in Milton was named the 2017 Music Educator of the Year for Santa Rosa County.
“Both of these music educators deserve our praise for the work they’re doing to continue to bring music education to the students in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties” said Dan Fugate, administrative director of the Blues Angel Music Foundation, a nonprofit group supporting music education and therapy.
