May 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 our dedicated special education teachers! Our special education teachers work tirelessly to decipher what each student needs to be able to learn effectively. They work with general education teachers to create healthy, happy, and inspiring learning environments to help all students reach their full learning potential.
For the fifth and final stop of the year, 5xStronger recognized Jill Fisher, of Hickory Elementary School!
Thank you to everyone who nominated one of our outstanding teachers for our Teacher Tour whether this year, or last year. It has been so uplifting and encouraging to visit our coworkers in their classrooms and see the impact they have on their students, staff, and larger community each and every day. This has been a rewarding experience for all of us and as we close this chapter, we look forward to what the future will bring. All HCPS educators are worthy of recognition and we hope the Teacher Tour program has inspired you to recognize, congratulate, and celebrate one another.
We hope all of our fellow teachers have a wonderful summer and we look forward to joining you in welcoming our students back into our buildings in August.
