Teachers have gone above and beyond the call of duty these past 11 months. They have risen to the challenge and are all "Teachers in the Trenches." On behalf of the Hoover City Schools Robert O. Finley Committee, we want to recognize our "Teachers in the Trenches" Award winners.

Current assistant & former standout Antoine Pettway helped lead the 2004 Alabama Men’s Basketball team to its only Elite Eight appearance in program history. His efforts on the court, in the classroom & as coach has helped him become an all-time fan favorite. #BlackHistoryMonth #RollTide

We want to recognize today's Finley Committee Teacher in the Trenches Award winners (Jennifer Johnson-SPHS, Kristin Snowden-SMS and Russell Sirmans-BPES). They, and their colleagues have gone above and beyond to help students succeed. To all our faculty and staff, thank you.
