The Greater East Dallas Chamber of Commerce announced the six winners of its annual Teacher of the Year awards.
Both public and private school schools in East Dallas are represented. Teachers were chosen based on their significant contributions toward innovative and unique educational programs.
Around 53 teachers were nominated for the awards.
The winners are:
Brittnay Connor: Geneva Heights Elementary School
Shaun Phillips: Alex Sanger Preparatory School
Steven Ramirez: Bryan Adams High School
Jordan Gusa: Zion Lutheran School
Will Keffler: St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School

Each teacher will receive $250, and their school will receive the same.

Last year’s winners taught at Dallas Academy, St. John’s Episcopal School, Bishop Lynch High School, S. S. Conner Elementary, Lee McShan Elementary and Alex W. Spence Middle School.
