At the 15th Annual District 14 Special Education Teacher of the Year Luncheon, eight area teachers were recognized, including Celeste Welch of Evans County and Lisa Deloach of Candler County. The Feb. 10 luncheon was held at Forest Heights Country Club in Statesboro, where each teacher of the year received a plaque, a trophy, a gift basket and the gratitude of the administrators who attended the event with them, said Dr. Alex Jordan, director of Southeast Georgia Learning Resources System. Special Education teachers were chosen by their peers as tops in their field, he said.
