Cumberland Road Elementary School teacher Meg Strnat was selected for 2013 Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) District Teacher of the Year.  Strnat, a 4th grade teacher in the High Ability program, has taught for nine years as a second career. She has won many awards, including National Science Educator Finalist, 2013 HSE High School Most Inspiring Teacher and was also just announced as a Top 10 finalist for State Teacher of the Year.

Strnat says the kids make teaching worthwhile. She enjoys setting an environment where kids who are ready can take the challenge. This creates independent learners who are not only involved in their learning process, but are making their own choices and setting the pace. She enjoys this collaborative problem-based and project-based method of teaching.

Each of the 20 HSE schools also chose a Teacher of the Year. The teachers were lined up and ready for their public recognition at the Fishers/HSE football game in August, but a severe weather delay resulted in evacuation of the stadium.

HSE Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian Smith said, “Our teachers of the year are high performers and great role models with positive attitudes and strong work ethics. They are well versed in their subject areas, know how to make learning fun and motivate students. They influence children’s lives.”

HSE Teachers of The YearWe now congratulate them all for being such wonderful forces for our children each and every day!
