The Rotary Club of Asheville has selected three Buncombe County Schools teachers as Teachers of Excellence. The initiative recognizes and rewards the dedication of educators in Asheville and Buncombe County.
This year’s honorees include math teacher Robin Franklin at Enka High School, exceptional children’s teacher Tonya Gesing at Community High School, and marketing teacher Chandler Greer at A.C. Reynolds High School. Later this month, Rotarians will host a special celebration for these teachers, along with two educators from Asheville City Schools, where each will receive a $2,000 award.
“These five individuals were chosen for their outstanding commitment to their students,” said Margot Baron of the Rotary Club of Asheville. “The future of our youth is forged by the dedication of innovative and compassionate educators who commit their lives to enriching the classroom with both professional expertise and tireless enthusiasm.”
The Teachers of Excellence program is one of 20 active service initiatives spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Asheville, combining financial resources and member volunteerism to improve our local and global communities.
