The ceremony takes place on Thursday, February 21, 2019, at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center.
Congratulations to BCPS Teacher of the Year finalists:
Principal Christopher McGuire says, “Her teaching skills and professionalism are superior. Ms. Fisher’s approach and methodology serve as inspiration to students to become proficient in a very challenging world language.”
“Mr. Jordan is a consummate and knowledgeable professional,” said Principal Wanda Haynes. “His goal for scholars is to help inspire them to go on to become lifelong learners and responsible champions who will change the world for the better. With every given task, Mr. Jordan rises to the challenge.
Principal Melissa Holtz calls Lozada, “one of the most amazing people I have had the privilege of working with. She is kind, compassionate and professional at all times.”
Principal Anthony Valachovic credits her for helping students at Northeast High excel in science and research. “Ms. Mabour’s infectious positive attitude, passion and work ethic should be the measuring stick that we use to evaluate performance.”
Principal Rayner Garranchan said, “Parents call to request her class, not only because they know their children will have the best law education possible, but also because they know Ms. Murphy will provide her students with the necessary tools to be successful in the workforce.”
