Rolesville High Teacher 1 of 4 First-Year Instructors Honored Joshua Heaney of Rolesville High was named one of four Wake County Public School System’s “First-Year Teachers of the Year. “Before Mr. Heaney arrived at Rolesville High, he was already an accomplished musician – having performed, instructed and adjudicated in prestigious ensembles and events along the eastern U.S.,” said Rolesville High Principal Dhedra Lassiter. “When I called his references, I not only knew that we had a great candidate for the job, but we were also primed for an unusual experience with a first year teacher,” she added. “And so, he has been and done everything that I could have hoped for our RHS string students and more!” The other three first-year teachers honored were Cristina Chase Lane of Reedy Creek Elementary, Caroline Markoch of Ligon Magnet Middle, and Rachel Goudeau of Salem Elementary. Every year, the local school district honors a group of outstanding teachers from elementary, secondary and special education with the Diane Kent-Parker First-Year Teacher Award.
