It is with great pride that we announce the 2013-2014 Teacher of the Year, Kate Mullan!!! Kate is currently teaching an accelerated block of Algebra and Geometry and IB PreCal. She had done an exceptional job of connecting with students, families and the staff here at Stony Point High School. Below are a few testaments to Kate's abilities from fellow staff members: Kate Mullan- She has only been a teacher for a few years, but she has already demonstrated her commitment to the profession and to the students. She has pioneered three different programs to help accelerate student learning and provide more students with the opportunity to take an AP or IB class. She holds Saturday tutorials, works tirelessly to improve her teaching and her students learning, and refuses to allow challenges to keep her from opening educational doors for her students. She is a shining example of what a teacher should be and is an inspiration to her students. Kate is a talented and dedicated teacher who goes out of her way to address the needs of her students. Kate will move forward by being recognized at the RRISD Teacher of the Year ceremony and will have a chance to compete at the State level for Teacher of the Year recognition.
