“Once again, the six recipients of the prestigious Golden Apple Award are representatives of all the outstanding educators we have in the School District of Lee County. I can think of no more important profession than teaching.  The impact of the teaching profession is felt throughout the entire community and deserves to be applauded,” said Marshall T.

Golden Apple Teacher Recognition Program™ was the first major project funded and developed by The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools, Inc.
