Teacher Lead Network

Using the Florida Department of Education's Teacher Lead Network concept as a blueprint, this organization was established to celebrate the achievements and accomplishments of our current and retired teachers of the year who are still associated with our school system.  As leaders in our profession, it is essential that we stay informed of best teaching practices while creating a strong support network for instructional staff within the Hamilton County School District.  By elevating our profession and by building upon the skill sets of our current leaders, we can promote mentorship opportunities and positively impact teacher retention rates and instructional best practices.  Together, we can truly make a difference!
