The Hays CISD recently selected its Elementary and Secondary Teachers of the Year. Elm Grove Elementary School Music teacher Hilary Adamson (above), received her title’s commemorative ring before a gathering of the Eagles’ faculty and administrators. Adding icing to an already special cake, Superintendent Dr. Eric Wright memorably got down on one knee to pop the question, “Will you be our Teacher of the Year?” Hilary said “Yes!” and Wright slipped the ring on Adamson’s finger amid applause from her co-workers and friends. Hays CISD’s Secondary Teacher of the Year is McCormick Middle School Spanish teacher Ruth Thornburg (inset). Wright and Hays CISD Education Foundation board members Kerri Espinoza and Juanita Garza honored Thornburg before a gathering of Tiger faculty and Principal James Cruz. The annual Teacher of the Year recognition is sponsored by the HCISD Education Foundation.
