Wicomico Board of Education

Christen Tacka has been named this year’s Wicomico Teacher of the Year.

The 22-year old intervention specialist at Prince Street Elementary School said that while it may sound corny she loves her job.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that 25 teachers were honored at the annual banquet last night held on the campus of Salisbury University.

The paper reports that the field was dominated by teachers in early childhood and primary education with seven top elementary teachers chosen by their schools.

Other receiving honors included Jennifer Hill, an adaptive physical education teacher at Pinehurst Elementary School, and Allison Wysocki who teaches English language arts at Wicomico Middle School.
