Here's Who Students Pick For Top Teachers

From HoCo Public Schools:

Each year the senior class at each Howard County high school selects their Teacher of the Year from their school's faculty. This year HCPSS-TV tagged along with senior class representatives as they surprised their school's winner. On March 12, the teachers were honored by the Howard County Association of Student Councils at their annual spring luncheon with the Board of Education and top school officials. During the luncheon, each teacher relived that surprise moment as the video was shown to those in attendance.

The Teachers of the Year as selected by the Class of 2009 are Barry Beerman of Glenelg HS; Linda Blakeslee of Centennial HS; Mary Curtin of Reservoir HS; Jack Dibler of River Hill HS; Shanae Fant of Wilde Lake HS; Rick Gardner of Howard HS; Ben Grabenstein of Hammond HS; Dale Harriman of Atholton HS; Laura Herbers of Homewood (Gateway); Paula Mee, Homewood (Bridges); Renard Parson of Marriott's Ridge HS; Eric Sandersen of Long Reach HS; Tom Sankey of Mount Hebron HS; and Donald Shea of Oakland Mills HS.
