Local Educator One of the Best

School teachers are among the most important people in our communities. With them rest the futures of our children and grandchildren.

It is a pleasure to note, then, that one of the best in West Virginia works right here in our area.

Each year, the state Department of Education honors top teachers. This year, Joy Van Scyoc, an art instructor at Moundsville Middle School, was one of five finalists for the Teacher of the Year honor.

Van Scyoc, previously cited as Marshall County Teacher of the Year, is involved in a variety of school programs that benefit both students and the community in general.

Congratulations to her — and to her school for having one of the finest educators in the Mountain State.
