OVERALL SCHOOL RELATED EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR
Carlos Polanco, Upper Keys Maintenance
Monroe County School District's 2020 2021 Teacher of the Year:
Ms. Monica Horsley
The MCSD is very grateful to Mr. Bob Eadie and his team, including the leadership of Nurse Dana Portillo, and Dr. Mark Whiteside for their in-depth support as active participants on our Back to School Task Force and throughout the pandemic. Our partnership with the Monroe County Department of Health has been of critical importance as we navigated our return to school during COVID-19. Their willingness to dialogue with us regularly has helped with decision making on a daily basis. They are supportive of our students, teachers and staff throughout the district and have prioritized us in their work. We appreciate them for always making the time for us not just this year but every year. They truly are our partners in education and we are honored to recognize them as a Community GEM!
Coral Shores High School, Gage Cooper, has been selected as Monroe County School District’s Sunshine State Scholar for the 2020-2021 school year. Cooper was chosen from a group of exemplary student finalists, including Lainey Cabanas from Key West High School and Leonard Volcheck from Marathon High School. Cooper was selected for his outstanding achievements in STEM courses, as well as extracurricular activities and work beyond the classroom. His teachers describe him as a creative, insightful and forward thinking individual who asks thought-provoking questions and is always willing to help another student.
The Monroe County School District (MCSD) would like to recognize the Finance Department for six consecutive years of excellence in financial reporting. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is the financial report audited by the State Auditor General’s Office. The Association of School Business Officials International then reviews the audited financial report and determines whether or not it is eligible for the certificate of excellence. MCSD has had zero findings for the 2014-2019 audits and expects to receive their seventh certificate of excellence when the official report comes out next month as they had no audit findings for the 2020 year. Superintendent Theresa Axford considers this team, “one of the finest in the School District’s history.” Pictured, with the perpetual plaque denoting the accomplishment, are members of the Finance Department including Mabel Balmaceda, Elena Paez, Executive Director Beverly Anders and Austin Tran. Not pictured are Andrea Boggs, Julie Davis, Arelys Farley, Nancy Oleinik.
Last June Amber Archer Acevedo retired from her job as principal of Key West High School after 36 years as an educator for the Monroe County School District. Students, families and colleagues were saddened by her departure and praised her for the tremendous impact she made during her illustrious career. Fortunately for the MCSD, Acevedo’s retirement did not last long. According to Superintendent Theresa Axford, the veteran educator will be serving the district in the new role of Coordinator of Professional Development and Community Relations, effective immediately. The position of Coordinator of Professional Development and Community Relations is responsible for the development and communication of information to keep the staff, public and media informed of programs, events, accomplishments and services of the MCSD.
