✨ Teacher Spotlight: Veronica Rodriguez – Kingsland Elementary School Teacher of the Year ✨
Ms. Veronica Rodriguez is a 1st grade teacher who brings heart, purpose, and passion into her classroom each day. With four years in education, she is dedicated to creating a space where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired.
Ms. Rodriguez became a teacher to be the person she needed as a child and the teacher she hopes her own daughters will have. She believes strongly in the power of representation and works to ensure her students—especially minority students—see themselves reflected in their learning and in their possibilities. Her goal is to help every child feel seen, empowered, and confident in chasing their dreams.
For her, the best part of teaching is building meaningful relationships with students and watching them grow proud of themselves. Being a source of comfort and support to those in need is what makes her work especially rewarding.
Outside the classroom, Ms. Rodriguez enjoys doing puzzles, taking walks while listening to audiobooks, and—even more uniquely—saving spiders whenever she can! If she weren’t a teacher, she would pursue a career as a child psychologist or behavioral therapist, continuing her passion for student support.
Her guiding motto reflects her impact:
“Helping one person might not change the world, but it could change their world.”

✨ Teacher Spotlight: Thomas Purvis – Camden Success Academy Teacher of the Year ✨
Mr. Thomas Purvis is a middle school math teacher at Camden Success Academy, serving students in grades 6–8. With 12 years in education, he brings dedication, patience, and a strong commitment to student success.
He became a teacher because he enjoys seeing the “light bulb” moment when a student truly understands a concept they once struggled with. Mr. Purvis also values the supportive environment at Camden Success Academy and says the best part of his job is working alongside a staff that always puts students first.
Outside the classroom, he enjoys fixing things (even if he complains a little first!) and relaxing through kayak fishing. If he weren’t teaching, he’d likely be a pilot or a full-time kayak fisherman.
His personal motto says it best:
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
