Earlier this year, we invited Lennox School District staff, parents, and community members to nominate a teacher who has made a lasting impact on their school and students. Our selection committee — comprised of dedicated staff, parents, and school board members — had the difficult task of choosing just one outstanding educator.
We are thrilled to have officially honored Mrs. Emily Maras as our 2026 Teacher of the Year at our End-of-the-Year Luncheon!
Mrs. Maras has been a valued member of the Lennox School District since 2013, inspiring students through her art classes at both the junior high and high school levels. Her passion, creativity, and unwavering commitment to her students and colleagues truly embody the spirit of this award.
Congratulations, Mrs. Maras, and thank you for the incredible impact you make every day!
A heartfelt thank you to Security Bank for generously sponsoring this year’s Teacher of the Year award, Employee of the Year award, and providing the delicious meal for our luncheon celebration. Your continued support of our schools and educators is deeply appreciated.
