Congratulations to Northside School District’s 215 campus first year and veteran educators of the year for the 2019-2020 school year.
They will be recognized at two special celebrations in their honor beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Brennan High School auditorium. Family, friends, and coworkers are invited to attend the events. For those that cannot be there, each celebration will be webcast here live, per the following schedule.
- Elementary First Year and Veteran Educators of the Year – Tuesday, March 3
- Secondary First Year and Veteran Educators of the Year – Wednesday, March 4
The District Educators of the Year, as well as Northside’s nominee for Trinity Prize for Excellence, will be announced during these events.
“To be honored as an Educator of the Year is such a tremendous accomplishment in Northside,” said Superintendent Brian T. Woods. “These are teachers who truly are passionate about helping children and serving the community, and they give more than 100 percent each and every day.”
