Nominator Julexus Cappell Hyman said,

"I have never come across another colleague that is so dedicated and passionate about students having awesome learning experiences!

"We partner as co-sponsors for our school's weekly live morning announcements. The way she has welcomed students who are interested, provides a environment where students can be creative and know it is OK to try something new and different. This same energy transfers over to projects and lessons we have co-taught in content classes. Ms. Banton makes the library a place where students want to be that engages them to consider innovative approaches to tasks. Our students would not have these experiences without the care and compassion that Ms. Banton brings every single day!"

Thank you for all you do, Lisa Banton, to make a positive difference and move HCPS forward!
