Woodland Park High School teacher Deborah Brannon was recognized this week at the 2011 Boettcher Foundation Teacher Recognition Awards Program.

The Teacher Recognition Awards Program was created by the Boettcher Foundation in 1992 to provide an opportunity for Boettcher Scholars to extend their gratitude to the counselors, principals, superintendents and teachers who have dedicated themselves to providing the youth of Colorado with an outstanding education.

Woodland Park’s 2011 Boettcher Scholar, Dante Disharoon, one of just 40 Boettcher Scholars in the state, nominated Brannon as a teacher who has made a significant contribution to his growth and education and impacted his life.

In addition to a plaque, Brannon received a $1,000 grant, which may be used toward a special program or project at WPHS.
