2014-2015 Secondary Teacher of the Year Stephanie Shelton (left) and Primary Teacher of the Year Jane Johnson were recognized before the Athens ISD Board of Trustees Monday evening. Shelton teaches U.S. history to freshmen at AHS. “When kids realize learning is more than worksheets and tests,” she said, “their whole life trajectory can shift.” Johnson teaches reading intervention at South Athens Elementary. She said she adores the “a-ha!” moments when kids really learn to read, as well as the opportunity to establish lasting relationships with them. (Toni Garrard Clay/AISD)
