Meet the 2019 Educators Who Make a Difference

Welcome to the 2019 edition of Educators Who Make a Difference.

Each year, Upstate Parent solicits nominations from the community to recognize the area’s best educators, whether they be principals, teachers, guidance counselors, coaches, or assistants. And each year we are humbled by the nominations that we review. Trust us. The Upstate is home to some truly dedicated educators, many of whom aren’t selected for recognition simply because we only have space reserved for 10. This year’s honorees come from Greenville, Pickens and Spartanburg schools, and they include educators who go above and beyond their job duties to inspire, encourage, and help children succeed. They all have one thing in common: a love for teaching and helping others, which they pass onto their students.

Congratulations to these deserving educators!
