Board-certified teachers earn distinction

30 May 2007 — Johnston County Schools recently honored its largest group of teachers in the district’s history—35—for earning National Board certification this school year, bringing the number of national board certified teachers in the district to 163. Dr. Anthony Parker and the division of School Improvement and Professional Development hosted a reception on May 3, presenting each recipient with his or her National Board certificate in a frame for display in their classroom or a location of their choosing.

Also, Kristen H. Heller of Princeton High School recently attended a seminar held at the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching.
