Mrs. Kindra Brelsford - 2012 PA State Teacher of the Year Semi-Finalist!

Mrs. Kindra Brelsford, a science (Bio and AP Bio) teacher at LTHS, was nominated back in the early winter for the 2012 Pennsylvania State Teacher of the Year.  The process to determine each year's recipient of the award is extremely rigorous and requires much work on behalf of candidates.  In late February, we learned that Mrs. Brelsford was named a Semi-Finalist!  Meaning, she has made it to the level where she is recognized as being one of thirty (30) semi-finalists from across the Commonwealth.  The competition has been rigorous.  Mrs. Brelsford feels this has certainly been an honor and privilege.  As a high school and school district, we couldn't be more proud of her! 

The next step in the process is the identification of the Regional Finalists (top 12 teachers from the group of 30). Mrs. Brelsford has completed a variety of tasks to submit in order to perhaps make it to this level, and we are awaiting a response which will be forthcoming in early April.  In the event that Mrs. Brelsford becomes a Regional Finalist, we will continue to report on her endeavor. Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Brelsford and her family on her much-deserved recognition and in wishing her the best of luck as she vies to potentially become the 2012 PA State Teacher of the Year recipient!
