Best of the Best 2025 - "Best Teacher"

Students walk into Brittany Harris’ 1st grade classroom each day to be loved, nurtured, discipled and empowered. Constantly sparking curiosity, meaningful conversation, and self-confidence, Mrs. Harris equips her students with the academic and emotional tools to succeed—both now and later. Her students develop skills that help them recognize, verbalize, and regulate their emotions. Balancing joy, structure, and high expectations, she sets a powerful example of great teaching. Our entire Grace community congratulates Brittany Harris!
From Mrs. Harris:  "My favorite part about teaching is definitely actually getting to instruct students. I love watching first graders go from basically brand new to school to fluent mathematicians and readers by the end of the year. I love when the lightbulb goes off for kids and they understand tricky concepts."
