Claxton Elementary (CES), Claxton Middle (CMS), and Claxton High (CHS) recently named Teachers of the Year (TOTY) at their annual end-of-year faculty luncheons. ECCSS would like to take a moment to shine the spotlight on each of our amazing TOTYs! When asked about the path that led her to teaching and the legacy she hopes to leave with students, Mrs. Lee Ann Lane, CHS's TOTY, replied, "As a non-traditional teacher (a CPA by trade), I acquired the love for teaching as a part-time instructor at local colleges. As a mother of four (three of whom are teenagers), I knew that I wanted to make sure they were ready to be independent adults and live as successful citizens upon graduation. As a teacher in the public school system, I knew that I could pass this along to so many other youth. I hope that the legacy I leave will include being a teacher who cared for her students and pushed them to be the best that they could be, all while teaching them to become successful, independent adults.” Please join ECCSS in recognizing Mrs. Lee Ann Lane as CHS's Teacher of the Year!

ECCSS would like to take a moment to shine the spotlight on each of our amazing TOTYs! When asked what legacy she'd like to leave her students, Mrs. Whitfield replied, "Each day I strive to teach my students that it’s okay not to be perfect. I want them to know that with mistakes comes success! You never know what you are capable of if you never try! I also make sure to show them how much they mean to me by telling them each day that I love them. I always show an interest in getting to know them, whether it’s by watching them play sports at the recreation department or even teaching them how to do a cartwheel at recess. I want my students to remember that I was not only their teacher, but I genuinely care about them and want them to succeed in life. " Please join ECCSS in recognizing Mrs. Andrea Whitfield as CES's Teacher of the Year!
