The Higley Unified School District proudly celebrates outstanding educators through its annual Teacher of the Year event. Each year, one teacher from every school is selected through a nomination process to receive the honor of being named their school’s Teacher of the Year. From this group of honorees, a district panel conducts interviews and selects one overall Teacher of the Year for both elementary and secondary education.
These awards celebrate exceptional educators who consistently go above and beyond in their dedication to teaching. Through their commitment to academic excellence and personalized learning, these outstanding teachers help shape the future by preparing learners for limitless opportunities. This year's HUSD Teacher of the Year for Elementary is Bridges Elementary School 6th ELA Teacher Margaret Silva. HUSD's Teacher of the Year for Secondary is Cooley Middle School 7th & 8th Grade Science Teacher Taylor Vickers. We congratulate these two remarkable individuals for their contributions to education, and the impact they make in their schools and to their students every day.
