They were led in a procession by the Windermere High Winter Guard, congratulated by the superintendent and school board, and served dinner while the Dr. Phillips High Jazz Quartet played. The honorees, dressed in their finest, posed for selfies with their guests and supervisors, took home prizes and found their names on congratulatory boards outside the ballroom. “I hear over and over again that our most brilliant staff are those individuals who show how much they care, listen intently, and truly value the students they teach, the staff they support and the community they serve,” said Superintendent Dr. Maria F. Vazquez. “There is no doubt you are here as an honoree because you do all of that with love and patience, and much more.” At the end of the evening, winners were named in the four categories.
