In November, the Foundation for Educational Excellence was honored to present the  Dr. Wayne Carbiener "Above & Beyond" Award to Dr. LaVerne Stewart, a Language Arts Teacher at Hilton Head Island Middle School. The Foundation's award comes with  a $1,000 grant to use in her classroom.  Dr. Stewart is the 2022 Beaufort County School District Teacher of the Year.

 

Our award is presented annually to the Teacher of the Year in honor of former Beaufort County Board of Education member and Foundation for Educational Excellence supporter, Dr. Wayne Carbiener. Each year, his family honors his profound commitment to our teachers by awarding the grant, which reflects his committment and respect for Beaufort County’s public school teachers.
