Shepherd Teachers of Excellence
Mrs. Tidwell, Top 5 Teacher of the Year
Mrs. Tidwell, Top 5 Teacher of the Year & Ambassador of Excellence October 2019 At this past week’s Teacher of the Year awards luncheon, Mrs. Tidwell was honored among her peers as a Top 5 finisher for Teacher of the Year and an Ambassador for Excellence by the Arizona Educational Foundation. Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mesa Public Schools Superintendence, and other state dignitaries were all in attendance for this HUGE honor. Congratulations to Mrs. Tidwell!
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. 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!
