In the spirit of Teacher Appreciation Week, Conroe ISD hosted a virtual celebration May 5 to honor some of this district’s teachers.
Superintendent Curtis Null said although CISD employees and community members are still social distancing from each other, the district still wanted to highlight and celebrate staff members. Each campus principal identified a Rising Star, a new teacher who has made an impact. Campus employees then nominate a Teacher of the Year.
Although each campus recognized its own Teacher of the Year, Null also awarded Secondary and Elementary Teacher of the Year recognitions to Kris Tesh of The Woodlands College Park High School and Krystle Hooper of Rice Elementary, respectively. Both recipients called in and spoke with Null during the virtual celebration.
“We thank you all for the difference you choose to make in the lives of children,” Null said.
