Mr. SpearsTri-West High SchoolThis teacher genuinely respects students time and understands that life happens outside of the classroom. He uses his time to teach and helps students when they need it. Mr. Spears never yells, and if he does on a very rare occasion, he apologizes and takes accountability; same applies when he makes a mistake. He is a great leader and example for teachers at Tri-West.

Bus Driver Angie on Bus #2Tri-West Transportation DepartmentMrs. Angie has been a part of my life, driving me to school everyday since I was 6 years old. She never once has let my family down or myself. Mrs. Angie is genuinely a sweetheart, connects with parents, and the kids she picks up.

Mrs. GlassPittsboro Primary Elementary SchoolMy son is in Mrs. Glass’s kindergarten class and the change in him since starting school has been nothing short of amazing. I am a stay at home mom with my children so his main social interactions with other kids and adults have not been as frequent as what I would consider the “norm” compared to other families we are personal friends with. My son was never really a shy kid but he was reserved and lacking in confidence when it came to making friends or answering to authority figures outside of our family. Since starting in Mrs. Glass’s class I have seen Jayden come into confidence in himself, his choices, and school work. He is excited to make friends, enthusiastic about school work, and generally seems like he’s thriving. I credit this mostly to Mrs. Glass. She has been a great fit for Jayden. She gives praise when due, has wonderful communication with myself when I have questions, and my son loves being in her class. Please consider her for this month and every month following. We are blessed to have her as my son's teacher!

Mrs. GrinsteadTri-West High SchoolWe transitioned my son to TriWest this year as a Senior. This was a big unexpected change. Mrs. Grinstead has been very helpful with this smooth transition, helping him to feel supported, guided, and heard. Thank you for helping him (and us) now and as he plans his future.

Angie Douglass, PES Secretary Pittsboro Primary Elementary SchoolWhat's not to love about this amazing person! As a parent, it's always so nice to know that Mrs. Douglass will not only help answer our questions, help us make transportation changes, get things to the students, keep things organized, but she is always SO KIND while doing it! This has got to be the hardest job and I just really appreciate how thorough and reliable she is and also done with the kindest heart.

Mr. Scott KnappTri-West High SchoolMr. Knapp has done an outstanding job as the Athletic Director at Tri-West. He consistently goes above and beyond to communicate with student-athletes and create a culture built on respect, accountability, leadership, and personal development.
Mr. Knapp understands that athletics is about much more than competition. He focuses on developing young people into leaders and teaching values that will serve them throughout their lives. His commitment extends beyond the students to the entire Tri-West community.
One example that truly demonstrates his character occurred during Fall Break, when I observed Mr. Knapp personally picking up trash around the football facility. No students were present, and there was no recognition involved. He simply saw something that needed to be done and took care of it. That small act speaks volumes about his leadership. He leads by example and is willing to take the extra step to make Tri-West and its athletic programs better.
Tri-West School Corporation should be extremely proud to have Mr. Knapp leading its athletic programs. His dedication, character, and commitment to students and the community have made a huge impact.

Mrs. GlassPittsboro Primary Elementary SchoolMrs. Glass has worked so hard to help our kiddo, Evan, to have a love for learning his letters, sounds, and writing. He struggled at the beginning of the year, but now he loves learning and likes to teach his mom and dad at home. We are so thankful for her hard work, kindness, and patience. She is absolutely amazing!

Rebecca DokesPittsboro Primary Elementary SchoolMrs. Dokes constantly went above and beyond for our student while he was in her preschool class last year. While we very much appreciated that at the time, what has stood out even more is how she has continued to do so this year now that our student is in Kindergarten. She's continued to encourage him, helped us navigate his transition into Kindergarten and the stuggles that come with it, and is generally a bright spot in his day. We couldn't have asked for a better "first teacher" and are continually grateful for the ways in which she supports our son! Thank you, Mrs. Dokes!

Jessalyn LarsenTWHS Theatre Director Jessalyn really brings people together during theatre. She brings so much energy and puts so much time into getting us kids ready and prepared to do a show. A lot of other people in theatre say that she is one of the best people to come into their lives. Overall, I truly think this person should be nominated and recognized for her dedication to the theatre department.
