Every year teachers throughout Woodford County are nominated by their fellow teachers for the Teacher of the Year award. This is a very honorable award and shows great leadership and dedication. Candidates must spend at least 75% of their day directly instructing students and have at least five years of teaching experience.

Mrs. Fitts is a special education teacher. When asked Mrs. Fitts how she feels about being the Teacher of the year, Mr.Fitts says he is honored to be nominated by her fellow peers and honored that they think so highly of her. She also says that her dad would be proud. 

Mrs. Fitts was nominated by teachers Kristy Carroll and Douglas LaRue. Carroll says she nominated Fitts because “she pours her heart into teaching and into her students because she wants to see her students do well.” Carroll is also a special education teacher who works alongside Mrs. Fitts while LaRue teaches Global Studies. Being teacher of the year is a great accomplishment and definitely something to be proud of; Mrs. Fitts is very deserving. Students are sure this will not be her last award or recognition.
