Teachers of the Year

Posted to Area Attractions, Denise Haviland

Two Montgomery teachers have been announced as receiving an award for Montgomery Public School’s Teachers of the Year. MPS Superintendent Barbara Thompson announced that Quebe Bradford (Jefferson Davis High School) and Clark Waggoner(Vaughn Road Elementary) were the recipients for this award. These two teachers will go on to represent our district in the 2012 Alabama Teacher of the Year Program.

In talking about these recipients, Superintendent Thompson said, “It takes a special person to be a good teacher and I believe we have a number of talented teachers in our district.” She went on to say, "Mr. Waggoner and Ms. Bradford have demonstrated a unique capacity to bring out the best in their students. They excel at motivating and inspiring students even when barriers to achievement exist. They are committed to professional development because they want to be the best for their students, and serve as a model for their peers. I couldn’t be happier for our nominees. I know they will represent us well.”

Jefferson Davis High School (Go Volunteers!) is located on Carter Hill Road and is bordered by the subdivisions of McGhee Estates, Brentwood, and Gay Meadows. Vaughn Road Elementary is located on Vaughn Road and is bordered by Heatherton Heights, Green Acres, Young Farm, and Young Place.
