Every school year, staff and faculty at Virginia schools nominate a Teacher of the Year for their school.

In the spring, each nominee will be presented and a Teacher of the Year is chosen for each school division, who then competes for the title of Virginia’s Teacher of the Year.

At a regular school board meeting yesterday, Staunton School Board announced Teachers of the Year for the Staunton Schools‘ for the 2024-2025 school year.

Staunton High School’s Teacher of the Year is Jake Etzel, a Special Education teacher.

Ron Herr is Teacher of the Year for Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center, where he is a Special Education teacher.

Dixon Educational Center preschool teacher Laurie Nolley and Shelburne Middle School 7th-grade Special Education teacher Mary-Faye Browning are Teachers of the Year for 2024-2025.

At Staunton’s elementary schools are: Ware Elementary School 1st-grade teacher Karen Grady, McSwain Elementary School  kindergarten teacher Christina Fitzgerald and Kim Jones, who teaches 3rd grade at Bessie Weller.
