The love of learning has always been a driving force for Moore County Schoolsâ 2021-2022 Teacher of the Year.
The district announced New Century Middle School special education teacher Leah Bartramâs selection from a pool of 22 school-level honorees on Friday.
Bartram has been at New Century for eight years of her 12-year teaching career. Though sheâd already started her own family by the time she finished college and started that career, Bartram found opportunities to lead children toward new knowledge as a scouting leader and teacher assistant at her childrenâs school.
Since becoming a professional educator though, she has taken the lead in exploring new and better ways to help students with disabilities master basic skills and discover their personal strengths.
