"The Kannapolis City Schools Board of Education is pleased to recognize the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month, Rachel Ridenhour from G.W. Carver Elementary.

Rachel Ridenhour is an amazing second grade teacher at G. W. Carver Elementary.  She was nominated for this award by three different families.  They used words like wonderful, amazing, dedicated, passionate, enthusiastic, and creative.  They each spoke to the way Ms. Ridenhour cares for all of her students and strives to make learning fun.  One parent said, “She goes above and beyond to build relationships with her students and makes sure every student feels accepted in her classroom family.  She pushes students to think for themselves and teaches them that they can accomplish hard tasks.”

Her principal, Mr. Irving shared, "Rachel is that teacher who brings all that she can to benefit her students and her school each and every day!  After a strong first year at GWC as a first grade, she is shining as a full virtual second grade teacher this year.”  He continued by saying, “Rachel holds high expectations for her students while building relationships.  Every day her students know that she wants the very best for them all.”

We’re proud that Rachel Ridenhour is part of our KCS family.  We’re also delighted, on behalf of General Manager, Tim Vaughn, to present her with the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month Award.  Congratulations!"
