Summit Insurance is the proud sponsor of the Greenwood School District Summit Star Teacher recipients for the 1st quarter. Although we recognize that all teachers at Greenwood Schools work hard and provide quality instruction for our students each and every day, we want to recognize certain teachers who are faced with challenges in the learning environment and provide positive outcomes for their students and peers. The 1st quarter STAR teachers recognized by Summit Insurance are Mrs. Jennifer Furlow from East Hills Middle School and Mr. Andrew Morgan from Greenwood Junior High School. We thank each one of them for their efforts on behalf of our students and the Greenwood community.
Mrs. Furlow has been teaching at Greenwood Public schools for 7 years as a literacy/social studies teacher at East Hills Middle School. The perfect word to describe Mrs. Furlow is intentional. She is intentional in the planning and designing of her classroom instruction, interventions, and individual academic needs of her students.
Mrs. Furlow believes in a whole-child approach and works tirelessly to get to know her students, both academically and personally. She sets high academic and social expectations, and understands the importance of providing support and clarification for her students to be successful in reaching these expectations.
Mrs. Furlow demonstrates the importance of rapport and relationships among peers, students, family and community by building those relationships with students and parents through strong communication.
Mr. Andrew Morgan started working with Greenwood in 2017 as a long term sub to serve in our ALE program, and fell in love with the students. He was hired as a full time teacher in 2018 to lead the ALE program and continues to make lives better everyday in that world.
Mr. Morgan has a calm demeanor that works well with students and truly has a heart for working with students who face difficulties socially and environmentally. GJHS is better place because Mr. Morgan is with us.
“Summit Insurance Advisors, formally RJ Bryant Agency, is a locally owned independent insurance agency founded in 1993. We are proud to call Greenwood home, and we are so proud of our school district and all of those who work hard for the betterment of our community. Mrs. Furlow, and Mr. Morgan exemplify what makes our school district and our community great. They are very deserved, and we thank them for their commitment…”
