2013 Campus Teachers of the Year

Spring Branch ISD campuses have named more than 40 elementary and secondary instructors as nominees for the 2013 campus Teacher of the Year title.

The district’s Teacher of the Year Committee will review nomination materials and soon choose three elementary and three secondary finalists for annual Teacher of the Year honors.

After each finalist group is interviewed, the committee will vote on its top two candidates.

Superintendent of Schools Duncan F. Klussmann, Ed.D., will announce district finalists and the Elementary and Secondary Teacher of the Year at this year’s Service Awards dinner, which will be held May 8 at the Omni Houston Hotel Westside. SBISD Teachers of the Year will represent the district in regional competition.

If successful, the Teachers of the Year will compete for the state’s highest honor – Texas Teacher of the Year. As district winners, these two teachers will receive a trophy-style Golden Apple Award and stipend awards. During the past 30 years, SBISD has had four teachers named regional and state winners.
