3 Panthers Earn Teaching Fellows Honors
Ashley Downs will be majoring in Early Childhood Education at Charleston Southern University.
Hannah Lorick will be majoring in Early Childhood Education at the University of South Carolina (Columbia).
Katherine Varn will be majoring in Music Education at Lander University.
Teaching Fellows is a competitive and prestigious program for South Carolina students studying at public SC universities to become teachers. The application process is rigorous as they have to write essays, participate in an interview, present an oral presentation, and complete a writing prompt. They currently receive a $24,000 scholarship (there is some legislation being discussed now to raise that as a way to recruit students to consider a career in teaching).
Congratulations, Ashley, Hannah, and Katie! I can say from watching them teach at Forts Pond Elementary and Pelion Middle that they will each be outstanding teachers for their students!
