USD 232 Recognition and Celebration

USD 232, in partnership with the the De Soto Teachers’ Association, recognized 16 Teachers of Excellence, as well as 14 district retirees at a special reception held at Mill Creek Middle School on May 9, 2022.

The De Soto Teachers’ Association recognizes educators through its annual Teacher of Excellence Award. These educators, selected by their colleagues from each of the thirteen school buildings, were honored for their instructional creativity and innovation in their classrooms while also motivating and inspiring their teaching peers. Each winner was presented with a plaque to commemorate this accomplishment.

The district also paid tribute to 14 members of the USD 232 family as they embarked on their next adventure of retirement. Members of the Board of Education helped present each retirement honoree with a certificate and memory box as a small token of appreciation from USD 232.
