“The reason I am most proud, has little to do with their awards, but with the compassion they demonstrated to other competitors, as well as their professionalism with the judges and other teacher leaders,” said Teaching Careers instructor Jenny Meers. “I know these students will tell you it is their teachers who inspired them, so thanks to all of them for helping them find the pathway to their careers. I am so proud to be their teacher. I look forward to seeing them move on to Nationals in Dallas.”
