TEF Hosts the Academic Recognition Event Honoring THS Top 20% and Favorite Teachers

On March 2, 2020, the Temple Education Foundation hosted the 2020 Academic Recognition Celebration at the Western Hills Church of Christ. This event honors the top 20% of Temple High School’s graduating class. Students were informed about this recognition in small meetings with the TEF Program Committee chair, Rebekah Little. At this meeting, the students were asked to submit the names of three of their favorite teachers throughout their time in Temple schools.  The students also turned in individual letters to each of their three chosen teachers, which were given to the teachers at the Ceremony. The letters are special mementos that the teachers keep to remind them of the impact they had on their students.  “The event was like a family reunion, no one seemed to want to leave,” said TEF Chairperson, Becky Montgomery. Some of the teachers honored had not seen their students since elementary school-days, while others go to class or practice with their honored teacher every day at Temple High. It was a special night to recognize a special group of students and teachers.

The honored students and teachers are:
