Teacher of the Year Semi-finalists Named!

Who will follow in 2005 Teacher of the Year Bill Ferriter's footsteps?

WCPSS has named 20 semi-finalists for the Wake County Public School System's 2006-2007 Teacher of the Year. WCPSS schools selected a Teacher of the Year and from those honored, the selection committee determined 20 semi-finalists to be recognized for their dedication to children and quest for personal and professional excellence. The semi-finalists include:

Stephanie Blocher, West Millbrook Middle
Jeffrey Derda, Apex High
James Bart Elliott, Forest Pines Drive Elementary
Jennifer Facciolini, Fuquay-Varina High
Lynn Flood, East Garner Middle
Melinda Fox, Leadmine Elementary
Anna Goodrum, Farmington Woods Elementary
Lisa Huffman, Garner High
Julaine Kammrath, Wake Forest Elementary
Gladys Madauss, Brentwood Elementary
Robert Matthews, Mt. Vernon Middle
Patrick McArdle, Holly Ridge Middle
Elizabeth Price, Centennial Middle
Annette Stegner, Wakefield Middle
Kevin Steidinger, Combs Elementary
Angela Stephenson, Leesville Road High
James Stuart Vickery, Martin Middle
Laurie Toreson, Knightdale High
Susan Wiedenman, Salem Elementary
Melinda Wilkinson, Powell Elementary

The next step in the process for the semi-finalists is a classroom observation by committee members to determine the ten finalists. A reception will be held in April to honor the semi-finalists and name the finalists. The 2006-2007 Teacher of the Year will be named at the Teacher of the Year banquet on Thursday, May 11.

The WCPSS Teacher of the Year program is sponsored by Wachovia.
