The Outstanding General Music Teacher of the Year award was given to Leah Good from Feds Creek Elementary. Tracee Sheeler from Virgie Middle School received the Outstanding Middle School Teacher of the year award. Matt Moon from Pike County Central was given the Outstanding Senior High Teacher of the year award.

Best wishes to him upon his retirement.
