WFISD celebrates top teachers and paraprofessionals
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL)—The Wichita Falls Independent School District celebrated various teachers for their hard work and introduced a new award.
District officials presented the 'Teacher of the Year' awards for primary and secondary schools and the new 'Paraprofessional of the Year' award.
Jamie Cove from Scotland Park Elementary received the award for the primary school category, and Logan Parrish from Legacy High School received the secondary school category.
Both recipients thanked the people who helped shape them through their lives.
'My high school teacher. He was an English teacher, and I went into English hating it. He changed learning for me. He made it relevant, real-life, and personal, and made relationships with us,' Cove said.
'Bunch of people in my life growing up that truly helped shape who I was, and I just wanted to be able to do the same for somebody who might need it,' Parrish said.
The first-ever 'Paraprofessional of the Year' award was given to Alfred Strachan from Barwise Middle School.
District officials said Strachan's unwavering dedication to making a difference made him perfect for the award.
