2026 Outstanding Teacher Award
Mr. Jerome Weers has been selected as this year's Akron Outstanding Teacher Award winner. Mr. Weers is in his 22nd year of teaching, and his 18th as a high school English teacher in Akron. In the time that he has been here, he has made a significant impact on his students. In addition to his duties as a teacher, he has served on school committees, as a class sponsor, coached middle school football and track, weight training, and has served as the high school head football coach since 2013. In his role as teacher and coach, he has taught his students about grammar, literature, and football skills, but more importantly, lessons about responsibility, how they treat one another, the example they set for others, and the importance of acting with integrity-lessons that will last a lifetime.
An anonymous donor donates each year to recognize an outstanding teacher at the Akron School. The hope is to acknowledge the great work of teachers and the impact they make on students’ daily lives. The Akron School District is blessed to have an excellent team of teachers and staff members who deserve recognition.
Congratulations, Mr. Weers!
January is school board appreciation month. The Akron School District is fortunate to have a wonderful group of volunteer leaders serving on the school board. Please help us in showing our gratitude and appreciation to these individuals who serve our school and community. Thank You!!
