Centennial Bank in Cabot hosted the district's "Teacher of the Year" school winners and presented each honoree with a plaque. During the recognition, the teachers were given the opportunity to share a little about themselves. Each of these remarkable educators shared their heart for Cabot students, an appreciation for and support from their administration, and a desire to continue teaching in Cabot Public Schools.
