CEDAR HILL, TEXAS – The Cedar Hill ISD Education Foundation – known as CHEF – visited 12 CHISD campuses on Monday morning to present checks to the district’s 2020-2021 Teachers of the Year.
“We are so grateful to each of our donors – large and small – who made this possible,” CHEF Executive Director Denise Root said. “This is the first year that we were able to present $200 checks to the 10 Campus Teachers of the Year who were finalists for District Teacher of the Year. Of course, the two District Teachers of the Year each received a $1,000 check.”
CHISD Superintendent Dr. Gerald Hudson visited each of the campuses, with the group, along with CHISD Board Secretary Gayle Sims and Trustees Dr. Denise Roache-Davis and Dr. Keisha Lankford, and CHEF Board Member Timothy Clifford.
