Certificates, pats on the back and words of congratulations and appreciation went out during Tuesday afternoon’s school board meeting, when 24 teachers were recognized for work they’ve done to improve the performance of their former students.
“Whether in a classroom where students arrived already high achieving, or a classroom in which students were underperforming, your efforts provide inspiration and opportunities to young people that may have been otherwise inaccessible,” Stewart wrote in her letter to teachers.
Or, as Deputy Superintendent of Jackson County Schools Cheryl McDaniel put it, “These teachers, on the state assessment, did a jam-up job moving their students forward.”
The following Malone teachers were named as some of the highest-impact teachers in the Jackson County School District:
Toyka Holden, Kimberly King and Dena Davis
