Educators of the Year
"Thank you again for the incredible work you do to support education in our community. It is clear how much heart your organization puts into uplifting teachers and investing directly into classrooms, and I am truly grateful to be a small part of that story."
April Knight, East Union Middle, 2026-2027 Beginning Teacher of the Year
The teacher is the hero of the classroom and the principal is the architect of the entire learning community. Both roles are absolutely vital for the future of our children. To show our appreciation, we partner with UCPS and our Partners in Education to award gifts to the Principal and Assistant Principal of the Year and the Teacher and Beginning Teacher of the Year.
"Thank you so much for your generous gift at the U Awards in honor of being named Assistant Principal of the Year. I am incredibly honored and grateful for your support.
I also want to thank you for your continued investment in Union County Public Schools through innovative learning opportunities, classroom resources, and programs that enrich the educational experience for students and staff. Your generosity truly makes a difference in the lives of our students every day and helps create opportunities that might not otherwise be possible.
I am grateful for your dedication to UCPS and for your belief in our schools, educators, and students. Thank you for all you do to support public education in Union County."
Thank you again,
Sophie Flynn
Assistant Principal of the Year
