Chapel Hill 7th & 8th Grade Center Teacher, Terri Howell, was announced as the 2023 Wayne Township Secondary Teacher of the Year.

“You can’t talk about Ms. Howell as a teacher without talking about her as a person,” said Kelin Mark, principal of Chapel Hill 7th & 8th Grade Center. “What she does in the classroom, you see it in her students, you see it in her team, and in her relationships with parents. I want to thank her for all she does for our school.”
