Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Theresa Bryant, who is West Forsyth High School's 2016-2017 Teacher of the Year. This first-generation college graduate, Kiwanis member, and Key Club adviser has worked at West Forsyth in Clemmons since 2000, where she teaches sophomore English and Shakespeare as an elective. Theresa's proudest moment in the field of education is her role in the creation of the Shakespeare elective class. After an educational opportunity at the Globe Theatre in London, she worked with a colleague to create an intensive curriculum covering eight plays. The class has brought the words of the Bard to more than 4,000 students at West Forsyth, as well as four other schools in the district. Theresa is known for her dedication to her students and making her lessons relevant to their different learning styles so everyone can understand the material. We are lucky to have a teacher of her caliber serving students in North Carolina's Fifth District. ____________________
