Dyess named 'Teacher of the Year' in Washington Co.
Cynthia Dyess is employed at Chatom Elementary School where she has worked for 11 years. She previously taught three years in the Mobile County system. A native of Clarke County and alumnus of Grove Hill Academy, Dyess is a graduate of the University of South Alabama, and attended Judson College several years on a basketball scholarship. She received her masters in early childhood education from Spring Hill College. At Chatom Elementary, Dyess teaches nine classes of physical education for grades K-4. She "likes being with children." And she said, "My students make me what I am. I feel humble in being rewarded for something I enjoy. My principal is very supportive of the P.E. program." Dyess is aware of the common perception that since P.E. teachers don't have the paperwork that goes with other courses, they have an easier job. "If you follow the state course of study for P.E., you 'work,'" she emphasized. Dyess was complimentary of her fellow teachers and said Chatom Elementary is a great school and a wonderful place to work because of faculty cooperation. Dyess is the daughter of Morris and Ruth Dyess of Grove Hill.
Richard Roach, the secondary Teacher of the Year, is employed at Millry High School where he teaches eighth and ninth grade grammar and literature and is the Spanish teacher for juniors and seniors.
