Outstanding Educator

Allyson Calhoun, Lone Oak Middle School science teacher, was named the 2008-2009 Challenger
Learning Center’s Outstanding Educator during a surprise presentation at a Lone Oak Middle School faculty meeting. Staff from the Challenger Learning Center at Paducah, recognized Calhoun as the center’s third outstanding educator. During the presentation they presented Calhoun with a framed certificate and a $100 gift certificate for science and math supplies donated by Travis School Supply. In addition the McCracken County School district also receives one free mission for the 2009-2010 school year to the Challenger Learning Center at Paducah.  Calhoun was nominated by her principal, Mike White.  He nominated her for this award because all students are important to her and she strives to make sure they are reaching their potential.
