1213TOTY2
Gainesville Middle School Teacher of the Year Heather McConnell works Wednesday morning with Logan Davis, 13. McConnell teaches students with autism this year and taught special education last year at Wood's Mill Academy.
Heather McConnell is not the first McConnell to teach in Gainesville City Schools. Nor is she the first to win the honor of districtwide Teacher of the Year. But while McConnell is carrying on a family legacy, she’s doing it in her own way.
