希格利联合学区（HUSD）致力于确保每间教室都由各自领域的真正专家老师领导。 最近几位教师的认可有助于体现热情的专业人士，他们推动学生的成功，并在整个Higley学校坚持高标准的学习。

Two science educators have earned statewide recognition from the 亚利桑那州科学教师协会 (ASTA) and will be formally honored at the ASTA annual conference on November 17. 来自Higley高中的Kady Bonacci被评为2025年年度高中教师，来自Higley传统学院的Joanna Auclair被评为2025年年度中学教师。

ASTA旨在表彰那些以高质量的科学教学为榜样，并通过参与、有效的教学激励学生的教育工作者。 每年从小学、初中或初中和高中阶段选出一名教师，以及一名刚入职三年的新教师。

Adding to the district’s reasons for celebration, Jennifer Huettl of 威廉姆斯菲尔德高中 has received the Claes Nobel Educator of Distinction Award from the 全国高中学者协会 (NSHSS). 这一荣誉是为了表彰那些以激情和奉献精神激励学生成长为学者、领导者和公民的模范教育工作者。

休特尔在威廉姆斯菲尔德高中教授乐队和管弦乐队，并因其对激励学生的奉献和承诺而获得提名。 In the nomination, one student said, “She has made a huge impact on my life. She always encourages me to push myself and to take opportunities."

他们的成就提醒我们，好学校始于好老师。 The district’s a status is built on the talent and tireless efforts of educators like Kady, Joanna, and Jennifer, who go above and beyond to ensure every student reaches their full potential. This directly reflects Strategic Anchor 2: Highly Effective Personnel in our district’s 战略计划, which focuses on recruiting, supporting, and celebrating educators who drive achievement, innovation, and community across our campuses.
