Bulloch County Schools and the Statesboro-Bulloch Chamber of Commerce named their 2014 Teacher of the Year Tuesday, and she never saw it coming. Schools Superintendent Charles Wilson, colleagues, friends and family — and a collection of cameras — snuck into room 815 at Langston Chapel Middle School to tell Jemelleh Coes that she had been selected the county’s top educator. Caught on her heels, the eighth-grade special education teacher had few words at the ready, but an expression that said plenty.
