| A Tribute to Excellence Chandra Scott, MAEF |
On Tuesday, May 5, the Mobile Area Education Foundation had the privilege of honoring 95 Mobile County Public School teachers as Teacher of the Year. The evening was filled with many joyous moments, especially the moment Renee Dials announced the four Outstanding Teachers of the Year (including two elementary winners because of a tie) along with Superintendent, Dr. Roy Nichols and MAEF Executive Director, Carolyn Akers who presented the awards.  Outstanding Teachers of the Year
Jennifer Stevens - Baker High School
Glen Mutchnick - Clark School of Math, Science & Technology
Kerra Middleton - Tanner-Williams Elementary School
Terry Janes - E.R. Dickson Elementary School
 Nearly 900 attendees including educators and their guests received a message of hope and encouragement from Dr. Johnson Haynes, Jr. (Director, USA Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center and Pulmonary and University of South Alabama Critical Care Medicine Professor), the keynote speaker for the evening and a proud product of public schools. He reminded them that "togetherness increases everyones' success" (T.I.E.S. is a program created by the students and teachers at Westlawn Elementary). He also went on to say he knows "as a teacher, you get tired...rest, but don't quit" for the future of every student is dependent upon their willingness to speak and teach hope into their lives.  Carolyn Akers, Director of the Mobile Area Education Foundation (MAEF) had the pleasure of surprising Mr. Lewis Copeland, Principal of Davidson High School with the honor of being selected as the 2009 Principal of Year. Mike Hofto, Board President of MAEF, closed the evening by honoring Mary Ann Napper, Program Director (MAEF) for her dedication over the last decade  to the Mobile Area Education Foundation and the Tribute to Excellence Dinner. Mrs. Napper has contributed to the success of many MAEF programs - Partners in Education, At&T Vital Link, Tribute to Excellence and Wouldn't it Be Cool?
Other special recognitions of the evening included acknowledging the six Torchbearer Schools and their principals: Lisa Williams -  Booth Elementary School;
