On May 1, hundreds of business, government and education leaders honored outstanding teachers at the South Carolina Teacher of the Year Celebration! The evening is generously sponsored by wonderful sponsors across the state who value and affirm what teachers do on a daily basis!
It is truly like the Academy Awards for teachers. I wish every educator had the opportunity to be truly recognized in this way for the difference they make in the lives of students and the community around them. Educators are in the dream developing business and are the builders of our nation. We can all thank a teacher along the way who inspired us to reach farther than we ever imagined.

| 2012 SC District Teachers of the Year |
One of the neat opportunities I have through my work is the chance to meet and work with some amazing teacher leaders across South Carolina! It is a joy to support teacher leader initiatives in the state and have the chance to work with the District Teachers of the Year.
The celebration always brings back so many wonderful memories of my time serving as South Carolina Teacher of the Year! The experience changed my life! Every moment throughout the journey brought new opportunities for me to grow, reach and become even more hopeful about the future. There are still worlds to change, lives to touch, powerful work to be done. I am so thankful for the passionate teachers of our state and the work they do each day to help ensure that our students have the opportunities to fulfill their dreams.
