Teachers, in partnership with other staff, par-ents and communities, make a tremendous differ-ence in the lives of children. Here in Marion County Schools, we are fortunate to have teach-ers who are committed and dedicated to helping the children of this community succeed and reach their goals. Our society has placed high expectations on teachers and schools. Daily, teachers are ex-pected to challenge and inspire the very brightest student as well as a struggling learner. They be-come listeners, coaches, and counselors for young people. They arrange activities, events, and trips to enhance learning. They spark excite-ment and a love of learning in children and they inspire all children to reach for their dreams. Education is the foundation of a democratic society and our teachers and staff work diligently to help students learn from the past, live in the present, and prepare for the future. The teachers
