Matanzas High School chemistry and French teacher Khady Harmon was named the Flagler County 2022 Teacher of the Year this week. No matter what happens, teachers are committed, Harmon said in a press release. The most important thing is our students. This is a year like we ve never seen before, but I am so happy and honored to represent all the teachers in Flagler County.
Harmon grew up in a family that valued education as an escape from poverty, she wrote in her application for the award. She was the first female in her family to graduate college after immigrating to the U.S. from Senegal when she was 17. She moved to Flagler eight years ago.
