 During a staff event on January 6, 2020, recognizing members of the Chillicothe R-II school staff, Jenny Hughes was named the 2019-2020 Teacher of the Year, and Evet Meierer was named Beacon Award winner.
During the annual staff appreciation event staff with 5, 20, 15, 20 and 25 years of service were
also honored. Hughes and Meierer were named winners followed by biographies of each of their fellow nominees
as read by Superintendent Dan Wiebers.
Hughes, a 9-12 grade business teacher at Grand River Technical School, said in an essay after she was
nominated that, "As a business teacher preparing my students for their future is always my
goal. I work hard to be a positive, encouraging influence on their
lives."
Meierer, a custodian at Chillicothe High School,
was nominated by CHS Principal and Athletic Director Dan Nagel. In his
nomination form, Nagle said Meierer takes a great deal of pride in her work,
"That is almost unheard of today," he added. "She is a beacon of light guiding the way in many areas in our
district."
Nominees for Teacher of the Year included Tracy Miller, Field
School; Libby Howe, Dewey School; Stephanie Baldwin, Chillicothe Middle
School; Nancy Thorne, Chillicothe High School; and Hughes, Grand River Tech.
