Patti meets the President

What a privilege it is to work with Patti Tate, our 2012 South Carolina Teacher of the Year! She has inspired each of us to explore all of the windows of opportunities we have to serve, to teach, and to celebrate the teaching profession! Patti is a shining example of a teacher leader! She leads with humility and grace and encourages all around her to give their very best! Recently, Patti attended the National Teacher of the Year events in Washington, D.C. She attended a White House ceremony honoring each of the state representatives! We were all very proud to see Patti recognized for the work she does to make a difference in the lives of students and in our profession! We are all very proud of you Patti and thank you for representing each of us! Thank you for carrying a message of hope and for reminding so many across this great state of all the reasons why we can celebrate public education in South Carolina! Happy National Teacher Appreciation Week!
