Williamson County Schools
honored the 2008-2009 Teachers of the Year February 3 during a
special ceremony in Franklin. Each school selected a
building-level teacher of the year, with each educator
receiving a certificate at the event. Then the top teacher
from the elementary, middle, and high school levels were
honored.
This year's
elementary level Teacher of the Year is Scales Elementary
School Music teacher Gail Merritt Congdon, who admits she
was surprised to hear her name. "I feel very humbled,"
said Congdon. "I'm excited about it
|
and I'm proud to represent my
school, but this was very unexpected."
Heritage Middle School Language Arts
teacher Phyllis Hasken was chosen as the middle school
level Teacher of the Year. According to Hasken, her
favorite part about teaching is the time she spends with her
students. "It's the little things," says Hasken.
"It's the children's hearts, their smiles and their thirst
for learning."
The high
school level Teacher of the Year is Independence High School
Science teacher Alicia Justice. For Justice, winning
this award was a bit overwhelming. "It's shocking
because all of the teachers I work with are outstanding
teachers," says Justice. "It's very humbling."
Congratulations to all
of the 2008-2009 Williamson County Schools' Teachers
of the Year. |
