Nicole Harris says all teachers relate to how Mark Nepo begins his poem “Adrift”: “Everything is beautiful and I am so sad. This is how the heart makes a duet of wonder and grief.”
Harris was named 2021 Alachua County Teacher of the Year during a virtual ceremony hosted Thursday by the Education Foundation of Alachua County and held on the school district’s YouTube channel.
An English and African American history teacher at Gainesville High School, Harris, 34, was introduced during the event by a former student, Briyona Lawrence, a founding member of ‘Canes on Da Mic, a literacy arts and civic engagement organization the instructor established.
