4th Grade Teacher Sasha Courtney was nominated for the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) 2024 Those Who Excel & Teacher of the Year Awards. She was honored with the Award of Meritorious Service.
Educators presented with the Award of Meritorious Service have shaped their school community for the better. These educators frequently employ their talents and passions, but also strive to be of service in unfamiliar domains. They have taken on leadership opportunities and their accomplishments are known and valued by multiple populations: colleagues, students, parents, and school leaders.
Congratulations Ms. Courtney!
