2009 Teachers of the Year Announced
SAN DIEGO - Michael Crawford, Bill Freeman and Philippe Poncey have been
named San Diego Unified School District's 2009 Teachers of the Year.
The trio will be saluted at the Day of the Teacher Celebration, from
4:30-6:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 5, at Sherman Elementary School, 301 22nd
St. (92102). 140 school-site Teachers of the Year, the latest class of
National Board Certified Teachers, and the Future Educator Scholars
entering the teaching profession will also be honored.
A Teacher of the Year is selected for each school level. Freeman teaches
fourth grade at Porter Elementary School in Lincoln Heights, Crawford is
a science teacher at Clark Middle School in City Heights, and Poncey
teaches French and drama at the School of International Business at San
Diego High School.
"Each one has affected their students' lives in a different way, and has
helped them along their road to becoming a productive adult," said Dr.
Terry Grier, district superintendent. "These three are outstanding
examples of the talented and dedicated professionals we have in the San
Diego Unified School District."
As it is a scheduled Board of Education meeting, all Board members and
senior district staff are scheduled to attend. The event will be catered
by students from Garfield, Morse, Madison and the San Diego High School
of Business, with music from the Mission Bay High School Dixie Jazz
Band.
Major sponsorship of the event comes from Time Warner Cable, Blackboard
Connect, Proflowers, Mission Federal Credit Union, California Coast
Credit Union, and the San Diego Education Association.
San Diego Unified's Teachers of the Year and runners-up are eligible to
apply for San Diego county Teacher of the Year, part of the process
leading to the national Teacher of the Year.
