The Teacher of the Year award has been around in Alabama for many years. Every school in the state selects a teacher at their school to be awarded for their hard work and success in teaching. This title is voted on by students, faculty, and parents. A small group, including Principal Holley, Mrs. Dukes, the previous teacher of the year, a parent representative, and a student representative go through all the votes and decide which of the nominees embodies what Mountain Brook Highschool stands for.
