Christen Campbell Wins State Honor

Christen Campbell has been named Teacher of the Year for the state of North Carolina by the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF). She was recognized last weekend at a conference in Charlotte. Christen is a dynamic, creative teacher leader who serves on our 6-12 World Language Curriculum Team. Congrats, Christen, on a well-deserved honor! 

In addition, Christen and Leigh Mote have worked very hard to have the French program receive the recognition it deserves. The AATF has recognized the CHHS French program as an "exemplary program with distinction," which is the highest honor a French program can achieve. Please congratulate Christen and Leigh for this recognition of their contribution to the district's French program and to the students they serve.

First Ever "SHINE" Awards at Smith Middle School

The First Smith Middle School "SHINE" Awards!

Two weeks ago, when we announced the last call for Teacher of the Year voting, one sixth-grade student came to the office wondering where he could cast his ballot. When we told him that only other staff could vote he was disappointed and asked "Who knows better than the kids who the best teachers are?"  

It was a fair question. So Assistant Principal Kevin Kay instituted the first ever SHINE awards, student chosen teacher of the year awards for each grade level and for electives. After a week of voting, and with all lunch periods reporting, we are prepared to announce the winners:

• 6th Grade - Ms. Lori Clark
• 7th Grade - Mr. Andy Lathren
• 8th Grade - Mr. Dan Segal
• Electives - Mr. Eric Zeigler

All are pictured below with the award's founder.
