2024 Outstanding Teacher Award
Congratulations to Mrs. Kilee Randel for being selected as the 2024 Akron Outstanding Teacher! Mrs. Randel is in her 17th year of teaching English and 8th year in the Akron School District. In addition to teaching English, Mrs. Randel has started or led several programs in our school district. She started the Big Buddy Program that connects all grade levels throughout our school, guides Middle School Student Council, High School Wellness Team, serves on the Akron Staff Wellness Team, advocates for student participation in the Elks Writing Contest, led a What’s So Cool About Manufacturing Program that explored businesses around Akron, led and helped organize an anniversary celebration of the 1960 State Basketball Team, and has coached every sport offered in our middle school girls program (volleyball, basketball, and track), and two years as the Head Girls Basketball Coach.
Each year a donation is given from an anonymous donor to recognize an outstanding teacher in the Akron School. The hope is to recognize the great work of teachers and the impact they make in students’ lives daily. The Akron School District is blessed to have a wonderful team of teachers and staff members who are deserving of recognition.
Congratulations Mrs. Randel! We are proud of you and this honor is well-deserved!
