The 2020-21 school year has been like no other we have encountered in our lifetime. The pandemic has forced us to deal with an adaptive learning environment that has impacted our students, educators, and parents. Yet amidst the hurdles of the year, Licking County teachers have risen to the challenge and by doing so, have continued to “Make a Difference” in the lives of their students.
It is for this reason that Coughlin Automotive Group has decided to once again honor a teacher in each of Licking County’s nine public school districts as well as C-TEC, Licking County ESC, and Newark Catholic. This marks the twenty-second year Coughlin Automotive has funded the
awards program.
Students in each district were asked to nominate a deserving educator and remarks poured in. Teachers throughout the county were described as “engaging, kind, respectful, positive and brave.” The 2021 district recipients are:
- Jared Lucas, Social Studies Teacher at C-TEC Secondary School
- Debbie Thomas, Grade 4 Teacher at Granville Intermediate School
- Phillip McIntosh, Instrumental Music Teacher at Heath Middle School
- Mona Doyel, Music Teacher at Johnstown Elementary School
- Lisa Hawthorn, Science Teacher at Lakewood Middle School
- Kaylie Butler, Elementary Intervention Specialist at Licking County ESC Phoenix Central
- Hollie Kinney, Grade 4 Teacher at Licking Heights South Elementary School
- Cathy Hoyd, Grade 2 Teacher at Licking Valley Primary School
- Lauren Bogner, English Teacher at Newark Catholic High School
- Elizabeth Kordel, Intervention Specialist at Wilson Middle School in the Newark City School District
- Danielle Doup, 6th Grade Math Teacher at Utica Middle School in the North Fork Local School District
- Kayla Howard, Intervention Specialist, Northridge Primary Teacher
- Melissa Betts, Grade 2/3 Teacher, Pataskala Elementary School in the Southwest Licking School District
