Former Maumelle High School teacher Kristin Herring received the Inspiration in Education Award from the Pulaski County Special School District at the school board meeting last week.
The award was for the fourth quarter and the final one of the school year.
Herring, above, has been with the district for 24 years and previously taught at Sylvan Hills Junior High and Middle schools, Robinson High School and Maumelle Middle. She’s now the lead career academy coach for the District.
In that role, she serves as the career academy coach for PCSSD as part of the Academies of Central Arkansas. She’s been in that position for the last two years as the district has built up the academies program.
“I have witnessed all the tremendous work she has done since accepting her [new] position,” said Yvone West, principal at Sylvan Hills Junior High. “She has been the drum major in the development of the academies across the District. From the countless hours she has spent meeting and talking to community leaders to the numerous school and classroom visits, she has been persistent and relentless in establishing a solid foundation to ensure that this major undertaking goes off without a hitch.”
Maumelle’s Laura Turner, a counselor at Pine Forest Elementary described Herring as”the biggest cheerleader of all her students. And now she provides the same type of commitment to success for ALL PCSSD students. Herring is the model for what all of us should look to achieve as an educator.”
