16 finalists named for Diane Kent-Parker First-Year Teacher Award

January 14, 2025

Each year our district honors a group of outstanding teachers from elementary, secondary and special education with the Diane Kent-Parker First-Year Teacher Award. These teachers are recognized for navigating the challenges of a new job with grace, skill and confidence. They serve as models for their colleagues and inspiration for their students.

The following are the 16 finalists for this special recognition. The four winners will be surprised by Superintendent Taylor in February and honored at our Teacher of the Year Banquet in May.
