Clark Board of Education’s Showcase of Success

This year’s Governor’s Educators of the Year were recognized during the Clark Board of Education’s Showcase of Success on April 3rd. These professionals were honored for educational excellence and their commitment to student learning. 

The Governor’s Educators of the Year Program recognizes “exceptionally skilled and dedicated” educators that must “be an expert in the field” and who inspires students of all backgrounds and abilities to learn.” They must “actively collaborate with colleagues, students, and families to create a strong culture of respect and success.” The educator should demonstrate “leadership and innovation in educational activities at the school, district and/or state and national levels that take place both within and outside the school setting” as well as have the “respect and admiration of students, parents, administrators, and colleagues.” These educators have gone above and beyond for their students both in and outside of the classroom. 

Superintendent Edward Grande commented, “These honorees are to be commended for their strong efforts on behalf of our students, schools, and district as a whole. I am proud to work with and learn from them.”

Board of Education members, Superintendent Edward Grande, principals, assistant principals, and supervisors spoke about the dedication and hard work demonstrated by these professionals.
