Mulcahy Named Arizona Educational
Foundation Teacher
Of The Year
John Mulcahy,
agricultural education instructor at Peoria High School in
Peoria, Arizona, was named as the 2001 Arizona Educational
Foundation Teacher of the Year. Mulcahy, a 22-year veteran,
received a cash award of $20,000, a prize package valued at
$10,000, and the opportunity to compete for the honor of
National Teacher of the Year.
"During my 22
years of teaching," says Mulcahy, "I have had the
privilege of contributing to young people. Helping children to
set and achieve goals has been my principal contribution.
Aiding them in the development of self-esteem has gone hand in
hand with this accomplishment."
 Wells
Fargo and The Arizona Republic sponsor the Arizona Teacher of
the Year program. It is the only statewide program that
spotlights the contributions of Arizona’s teachers. The
Teacher of the Year program annually recognizes ten
exceptionally skilled and dedicated teachers in public
schools, kindergarten through grade 12. Five of the finalists
are selected as ambassadors to represent and promote the
teaching profession.
Mulcahy was one of
the ten finalists who have gained the respect and admiration
of students, parents, and co-workers. He and his fellow
finalists play an active and useful role in their communities,
their schools, oftentimes distinguishing themselves as
leaders. They have a superior ability to help all students
achieve.
Congratulations John!
You represent your profession and your professional
organization extremely well!
