Shepherd Teachers of Excellence
Mrs. Tidwell “Tancer Arts in Education Award” winner!
Taryn Tidwell, Shepherd’s Choir and Musical Theatre teacher, is the inaugural winner of the Tancer Award by Act One! Mrs. Tidwell is a powerful and passionate voice across the state for the importance and impact the arts have on the overall learning and social emotional well-being of students. Her mission as an educator is to provide meaningful and memorable musical experiences and opportunities to students in order to empower them to gain confidence, create lasting friendships, and become active members in their future ensembles, careers, and communities
Mrs. Lewis, National Board Certified Teacher
We could not be more proud of Shepherd’s own Mrs. Lewis who recently earned her National Board Certification. National Board Certification is a rigorous process and is the most respected professional certification available in K-12 education. Our hats are off to you, Mrs. Lewis!
Mr. Nicolas Johnson, Silver Apple Award Recipient
Mr. Johnson was recently presented with the Silver Apple award from Javier Soto of 3 TV. It's only fitting that the award ceremony took place over Webex as Mr. Johnson is one of our fabulous remote teachers. The segment aired on 3 TV December 29th during the morning show. Mr. Johnson, who was nominated by his student Katelynn Downin, could not be more deserving!
Mrs. Tidwell, Top 5 Teacher of the Year
