🎉 Congratulations to Our 2026 Teacher Honorees! 🎉

C.F. Pope Elementary is proud to celebrate two outstanding educators who continue to make a powerful impact on our students and school community.

🍎 2026 Beginning Teacher of Promise – Ms. Davis
Our 4th Grade Social Studies, Science, and ELA Support Teacher, Ms. Davis, has already made an incredible impression in her first year of teaching. She has done an amazing job creating engaging learning experiences while building strong, positive relationships with students. Her dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment to student success truly embody the spirit of a Beginning Teacher of Promise!

🏆 C.F. Pope Elementary Teacher of the Year – Mrs. Croom
Our phenomenal P.E. teacher, Mrs. Croom, continues to go above and beyond for our school. She is a strong advocate for C.F. Pope and has helped build meaningful community partnerships that positively impact our teachers, students, and families. Mrs. Croom also does an outstanding job integrating core curriculum into her P.E. classes, ensuring that learning happens both in and out of the classroom.

Please join us in congratulating Ms. Davis and Mrs. Croom for their dedication, leadership, and commitment to our Panther family! 💙🐾
