Elevating Excellence Award: November

Elevating Excellence Award: November

November’s "Elevating Excellence Award" winner played a pivotal role during a pivotal time for Flagler Schools.
 
Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt surprised Teresa Phillips Monday morning as she sat in on a technology meeting at Flagler-Palm Coast High School. Her work on the ½ Cent Sales Tax Initiative went above and beyond her role as a Digital Support Colleague.
 
In her nomination, District Technology Coordinator Maria Mcgovern writes:
 
“I believe most people in the district are familiar with the name Teresa Phillips. She is well known for her Tech Tuesday weekly emails packed with helpful tips. Teresa was instrumental in spreading the information, ideas, meetings, and tours for the 1/2 cent renewal success to continue for the next ten years. Teresa helps not only teachers, students, and administration but all staff, departments, and parents. Whether it is a technology question or how-to's, or a better, more efficient way of recreating a process, Teresa is a wealth of information with a positive personality that is always willing to jump in to help Flagler Schools be the best we can be.”
 
Superintendent Mittelstadt says, “Whenever Teresa sits down at the table with you, she has that ability to take ideas expressed in a conversation and turn them into real-life projects. Her willingness to lend a hand on our ½ cent Sales Tax Initiative was instrumental in its passage by local voters.”
 
We also thank Flagler County Education Foundation Executive Director Teresa Rizzo and the Foundation's support of this monthly honor.
