HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two Hutchinson Public School educators are being nominated for the 2023 Kansas Teacher of the Year program.
Carly Torres, a fifth-grade teacher at Wiley Elementary, and Rhyanna Reilly, an English teacher at Hutchinson High School, are being nominated for the 2023 Kansas Teacher of the Year award. These two educators will move on to be considered for state recognition by the Kansas State Department of Education Kansas Teacher of the Year program committee.
This state award recognizes exemplary teachers with five or more years of experience who achieve excellence in the classroom, create a school culture of respect and success, and deliberately connect classrooms to key stakeholders and families to foster a strong community.
“We are very proud of our nominees and know that they are fantastic representatives of what it means to be a Salthawk educator,” Superintendent Mike Folks said. “These two teachers are exemplary and we are happy to see them being recognized for their hard work.”
Nominees will be honored at regional ceremonies in March 2022 with state finalists announced at the State Awards Banquet in September 2022.
