Coes named Bulloch Teacher of the Year
Surprise award presentation at Langston Chapel Middle
103012 TEACHER OF YEAR 01
Langston Chapel Middle School teacher Jemelleh Coes works with student Shelton King, 14, on his reading comprehension skills Tuesday. Coes was named Bulloch County Teacher of the Year.
Bulloch County Schools and the Statesboro-Bulloch Chamber of Commerce named their 2014 Teacher of the Year Tuesday, and she never saw it coming. Schools Superintendent Charles Wilson, colleagues, friends and family — and a collection of cameras — snuck into room 815 at Langston Chapel Middle School to tell Jemelleh Coes that she had been selected the county’s top educator. Caught on her heels, the eighth-grade special education teacher had few words at the ready, but an expression that said plenty.
