Clinton High School special education teacher Lindsay Pardue was the first one nominated in January and has ended up being chosen as the top choice.

On Wednesday, July 23, Pardue was presented with the Alyce Clarke 2025 Teacher of the Year Award by 16 WAPT News. 

“Seeing the students succeed, whether that success is large or small, is what brings me joy every day,” Pardue said. 

She said the growth her students experience on a daily basis is what her team aims for.

“I keep the motto that everybody can learn,” she said. “They may not learn on the same day or in the same way, but they can all learn.”
