RED OAK – Red Oak ISD celebrated the 2019-20 campus teachers of the year across three days the first week of May, which is also celebrated as Teacher Appreciation Week, and then announced the Red Oak ISD Elementary and Secondary Teacher of the Year.

This year, Superintendent Brenda Sanford, along with central administrative staff, and campus administration surprised teachers at the school or their home with balloons, flowers, their award, and an awesome yard sign.

For the district winners, a surprise campus gathering took place outside with staff and the winners family bringing signs, music and the Hawk mascot to celebrate the announcement.

“We couldn’t be more proud of the two amazing educators selected to represent Red Oak ISD at the next level.

“They epitomize the educator profile and the 4 Talons of the Hawk every day in their interactions with students, peers, parents, and the community.

“We are blessed to have such passionate and caring leaders at our schools,” said Red Oak ISD Superintendent Brenda Sanford.

The teachers of the year will compete in the regional competition in hopes of advancing to the state event.
