(KAIR)--Area educators, nominated as Teacher of the Year for 2022, were honored during the weekend during ceremonies held online through the Zoom platform.

Among them was Atchison teacher Carlton Crumb.

The Kansas State Department of Education, which sponsors the Teacher of the Year program, honored 138 Teacher of the Year nominees from each of the state’s four regions, with Crumb included among the 39 nominated for region 2.

He was introduced during Sunday’s ceremony by Maret Schrader, 2017 Teacher of the year from USD 345. “Carlton Crumb started his teaching career in 2005 at Atchison Middle School and has been there ever since. He teaches 6th through 8th grade communications, as well as theater and forensics for Atchison High School,” Schrader said.

Crumb was recognized as a regional nominee, but did not win finalist. However, Dr. Renee Scott, Superintendent of Atchison’s USD 409, told MSC News that Crumb earning the regional nominee recognition means he will have opportunities to connect with all regional nominees and finalists throughout next year for networking and professional development, which she calls “quite an accomplishment.”

Scott calls Crumb “amazing with both the middle and high school students,” adding that “the student successes in his programs are a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication” to the Atchison public school district.

The 2022 Kansas Teacher of the Year State Awards Banquet will be Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021, at the Wichita Marriott Hotel.
