DISTRICT TEACHERS OF THE YEAR “My philosophy of education has always been that every student has the capability to learn and grow through dedication, love and support. I have always known that for a child to be successful, it takes teamwork between the parent, teacher, and the student. Therefore, parent involvement has always been on the forefront in establishing a positive environment and culture in the classroom.” ~ Nora Moreno
“As educators, we have a great responsibility to advocate for our students and what is best for them. While some may see teaching as a job, I truly see it as a calling and a mission. My desire is to always lead with excellence, but most importantly to lead by example. I set high expectations for all of my students both academically and personally, because I know they can reach those expectations.” ~ Stephanie Lindenborn
