Wydown Teacher Selected as Missouri Health Teacher of the Year
Wydown Middle School Health Teacher Jill Warner has been named the Missouri Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance’s (MOAHPERD) 2018 Missouri Middle School Health Education Teacher of the Year. This award recognizes Warner as a leader in health education within the School District of Clayton and across the state.
Warner has been teaching in the District for the past 18 years. During that time, she has served on several committees, including her current role as a member of a leadership team at WMS and as co-chair of the WMS Social Committee. Outside of the District, Warner is a member of MOAHPERD, SHAPE America, Eta Sigma Gamma (national health education honorary) and the American School Health Association (ASHA). Additionally, she has shared her expertise as a presenter at local, state and national conferences.
Based on her designation as the Missouri Middle School Health Education Teacher of the Year, Warner is now the Missouri nominee for the nine-state Central District Middle School Health Education Teacher of the Year award. The person chosen for that honor will become one of the six finalists for the National Middle School Health Education Teacher of the Year.
Warner will be honored for her award during the 2018 MOAHPERD convention held at The Lodge of Four Seasons in Lake Ozark, Missouri, on Nov. 10.
