Susan Smith, Canutillo Elementary School lead technology teacher, and Gary Favors, Canutillo High School social studies teacher, will represent Canutillo Independent School District in the Region XIX Teacher of the Year program.

The District Selection Committee named Smith as CISD’s Elementary Teacher of the Year and Favors as the Secondary Teacher of the Year, who were nominated by their respective campus faculty members. The two teachers of the year were recognized during the regular School Board meeting held recently.

Smith has been a teacher for 30 years and has taught with CISD for the past six years. Favors has been a teacher for 33 years, also with the last six years at CHS.

“I find many rewards in teaching such as a child slowly joining a group discussion after refusing to participate. We need more people who are dedicated to providing quality education to our children,” said Smith.

Favors stated, “My job is to give each student the opportunity to learn in whatever way they learn best, but order and direction are vital in the process. Every student has the right to an education, but no one has the right to take this away from another.”
