Anne Arundel County Public Schools 2020 Teacher of the Year

Emily Davis

“First and foremost, for me this is about being a voice for my students, for my school, and for other teachers in Anne Arundel County. I am committed to supporting the furthering of equity professional development, to filling in those gaps that exist for a lot of our students, and to representing the amazing teachers that we have in this county.”

 

   - Emily Davis
