Congratulations to Northside School District's 161 campus first year and veteran educators of the year for the 2008-09 school year.
These individuals will be recognized at a special ceremony in their honor beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Brandeis High School auditorium. Elementary Educators of the Year will be recognized on Wednesday, March 18, and the Secondary Educators of the Year on Thursday, March 19. The District Educators of the Year will be announced that evening.
"I am very proud of each of these individuals," said Superintendent John Folks. "They are representative of the high caliber of teachers that we have at Northside. I look forward to being able to recognize these teachers who go above and beyond the call of duty each and every day."
