The Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month Award Recipients for February 2021

Each month, Hilbish Ford recognizes an outstanding teacher at both Kannapolis City Schools and Cabarrus County Schools, who are all nominated by their students and parents. Teachers are often nominated for a list of reasons, but all of them have one thing in common: they will go above and beyond to support the overall success of their students. 

We can't thank our teachers enough for all they do to support their students, but we're proud to present this award each month as our way to show you how much we appreciate everything you do. Thank you teachers!

Now, on to this month's Hilbish Teacher of the Month Awards...

Kannapolis City Schools - Madison Hipp

The Kannapolis City Schools Board of Directors was pleased to recognize the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month, Madison Hipp from Fred L. Wilson Elementary.

Madison Hipp is an extraordinary 2nd Grade Dual Language English Teacher at Fred L. Wilson Elementary.   And, according to the family that nominated Ms. Hipp, she is absolutely the best teacher!  They shared that “she is very well organized and so passionate about being the best she can be for her students.”  They went on to say, “For remote learning, she goes above and beyond and our son feels like he is still in the room learning with her.”

Her Fred L. Wilson family also feel Ms. Hipp is extremely deserving of this recognition.  They spoke to the wonderful way she has of taking care of people while also taking care of business.  They noted how her students feel loved, supported, and pushed!  And, not only do students seek her out, but her colleagues do, as well.  They see her as an excellent role model, epitomizing professional teaching standards, dedication, and a commitment to excellence.  As a dual language teacher, they find she has an uncanny ability to design thorough learning experiences for all of her dual language learners.  One Fred L. Wilson staff member shared that Ms. Hipp is a phenomenal educator!

Wow, we can’t say it any better than that!  We are extremely proud that Madison is part of our Kannapolis City Schools’ family, and we are delighted on behalf of Hilbish Ford General Manager, Tim Vaughn, to present her with the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month Award. Congratulations!
