Drew County
Master Educators
of the Year

The Drew County Master Educator Awards are presented each year to an educator from each school in Drew County. A "Master Educator" is one who has risen to the top of the profession as an outstanding educator, a dynamic colleague and role model, and as a caring teacher to the students whose lives they touch in immeasureable ways. The prestige of these awards is enhanced because each recipient was selected by their peers. Definitely not a "popularity" contest, the selection of the annual Master Educators is a careful and thoughtful deliberation by the teachers and administrators who work closely with these teachers every day.

The Drew Central and Monticello School Districts are grateful to Union Bank and Trust Company for their support of education in Drew County.
