Teacher Tour
presented by 5xStronger
March 2023
The Teacher Tour, presented by the 2021 Teacher of the Year finalists, known as 5xStronger, recognizes and celebrates some of the fantastic and extraordinary teachers in our schools. Each month, nominations are accepted for teachers who are doing an outstanding job in a specific area or level. One winning teacher will be selected each month, but every nominee will be recognized in the HCPS 411 Update. The winning teacher will receive a surprise visit from the 5xStronger team and a special gift from one of our community partners.
This month, 5xStronger recognized the amazing educators in HCPS high schools! Our high school teachers prepare students to excel outside of their buildings, whether that is in higher education, the workforce, or another endeavor. They foster relationships with their students and inspire them to achieve greatness beyond graduation. These educators promote enriching learning through innovative practices, celebrating achievements, and boosting positive behavior.
For the third stop of the year, 5xStronger recognized Michael Rex, of C. Milton Wright High School!

Teacher Tour Stop 4: Unified Arts
For their fourth stop, 5xStronger is looking to highlight and recognize one unified arts teacher! These teachers connect with students at all grade levels and play an integral part in each student's educational journey. Do you know a music, physical education, school librarian, or arts teacher who is exceptional in professional growth, classroom management, technology, positive relationships, and/or student engagement? We would love to hear about them and share some of the wonderful things they are doing in their classrooms to promote student learning at all grade levels!
Please use this link to nominate a unified arts teacher on or before April 15, 2023. They may be the next stop on our teacher tour!
