Congratulations to Laura Smith, RMS, for being named as the Transylvania County Schools Teacher of the Year for 2020-2021, and Carri Harris, BHS, for being named as the Transylvania County Schools Teacher Assistant of the Year for 2020-2021.  The district TOY and TAOY winners were announced in a Zoom recognition ceremony on Wednesday, June 10.  Our thanks to the committee members who helped pick this year’s district winners using Flipgrid, Zoom, and a lot of heart.  Retired educators Susan Bir, Kathy Haehnel, Vera Taylor, Frances Bradburn, Sue Fox, and Molly Tartt worked together with Amber Webb and Kevin Smith to review our candidates and make the final selections.  We are so proud of Ms. Smith, Ms. Harris, and all of the TCS educators who were selected as the “best of the best” for 2020-2021.  The Teacher of the Year award is sponsored by First Citizens Bank of Brevard.
