The Administration and Staff of Southern Lee High School are pleased to announce the selection of Mrs. Kelsey Whalen Crowley as the 2022-2023 Teacher of the Year.

Kelsey graduated from Southern Lee in 2010 as Kelsey Whalen.  Her favorite classes were science classes and history classes. She particularly liked Anatomy, Biology, and American History. Her favorite teachers were Mr. Newman (Science) and Mrs. Furrie (Social Studies).

After high school she attended CCCC then transferred to UNCP where she majored in Biology. She chose biology specifically because she loved it so much in high school.  (You never know when your education will ignite a passion for a new career)  This talented scientist graduated in 2016 from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and segued into the teaching profession. She never left her passion for learning by continuing to study for her Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) at UNCP.

Once a Cavalier, always a Cavalier!  Kelsey decided to teach at Southern Lee because "I could tell it was where I was supposed to be just from the interview. The energy of the building is amazing, the staff is amazing, and it really is home."

In summing up this accolade, she stated "I am so grateful to have been chosen for this by my peers. There are so many amazing teachers here and for them to have selected me as the Teacher of the Year means so much to me. To my current or former students, I believe in you and I am always here for you if you need something!"

Joining in the surprise announcement were her husband Kyle and son Ayden, age 9.  Unfortunately, neither Biggs the dog, Garnett the cat or Iggy her leopard gecko could attend.  However the rest of her family, the Southern Lee Science Department and staff were on hand to congratulate her on this outstanding recognition of her dedication to the teaching profession.
