Anne Kelsey-Zibert was honored as the Greenville County Teacher of the Year Tuesday at the Rotary Club of Greenville.
The teachers of the year were announced in August.
Zibert is a seventh grade social studies teacher at Northwest Middle School in Travelers Rest. A Missouri native, she is a graduate of Princeton University and earned her Master’s at Clemson University. Zibert has been teaching nine years.
“The more I understood what it meant to be a teacher and help students grow as individuals, the more I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to teaching,” Zibert said. She will compete for the state teacher of the year.
Adam Massey, a business education teacher at Greer High School, was first runnerup, Tom Rogers, a physics, statistics, and computer science teacher at Southside High Academy was second runnerup and Mandy Waters, a first grade teacher at Westcliffe Elementary School was third runnerup.
