Cedar Creek High School teacher of the year Sandra Brown says she likes “nerdy math problems” but also enjoys teaching real world applications for her students to use.
EGG HARBOR CITY - Perhaps it was a natural choice for Cedar Creek High School administrators to select teacher Sandra Brown as Cedar Creek's teacher of the year.
That's because Brown, who is the daughter of a pair of educators, earned it.
"Teaching is in my blood," says Brown, who joins Absegami's Janet Hutchings and Oakcrest's Emily Brock as teacher's of the year in the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District.
"My father, Stan Leathers, was a high school algebra teacher until he retired last spring," she said. "Yes, he taught me math, but he also taught me how to communicate and how to love learning. He taught me how to set attainable goals and helped me plan my future."
