Director of Schools Jennifer Fields said this was something the school district did each year, and that it was important to recognize the excellent teachers that Campbell County has throughout its district.

“Every school is fortunate to have some of the most outstanding teachers that I would put up against any educator in the state of Tennessee. You all are exceptional. I have had three children go through the Campbell County School System and I couldn’t be more proud of the education they received here. I have worked alongside many of you as a colleague and as the director of your schools and I couldn’t be more proud to get to celebrate you,” Director Fields said.

She said there is “no greater honor than to be voted on and selected by your peers.” (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-12/11/2024-6AM)
