Lagrange Moscow Teacher Chosen for WestTeach 2024

WestTeach was created as a class project by the 2017 WestStar Leadership class to support teacher development. A new class is selected annually by the program’s advisory committee following teacher nominations by school superintendents and directors.
Hardeman County teacher Deana Sain previously participated in the program and graduated on December 13, 2022. {read more here}
