A Well-Deserved Honor, Chosen by the People Who Know Her Best!
There was a special kind of excitement at Rolling Hills Elementary School as faculty and staff gathered to celebrate an extraordinary educator. Mah’Kailah Brown, a dedicated third-grade teacher, was named Rolling Hills Elementary School’s Teacher of the Year for 2026–2027!
In a heartwarming surprise, district leadership visited RHES to personally present Ms. Brown with this prestigious honor, along with a monetary award in recognition of her outstanding contributions to education. Among those in attendance were Superintendent Dr. Clarence Sutton, Mr. Frederick Barnes, Mr. Larry Saulsberry, and other district leaders who joined the RHES family in celebrating this special occasion.
What made this recognition even more meaningful is that Ms. Brown was selected through a staff vote. This award represents more than an accomplishment; it reflects the respect, admiration, and appreciation of the colleagues who work alongside her every day. The very people who witness her dedication, commitment, passion, and impact on students chose her for this honor.
Completely shocked by the announcement, Ms. Brown was visibly surprised by the recognition. But while the moment may have caught her off guard, it certainly did not surprise those who know her best. At Rolling Hills, we know that this recognition is well deserved!
A great teacher does more than deliver lessons. A great teacher inspires, encourages, builds relationships, and creates opportunities for students to grow. Ms. Brown exemplifies the heart of an educator, and her recognition is a reflection of the difference she makes in the lives of children and the RHES school community.
Please join us in congratulating Mah’Kailah Brown, our 2026–2027 Rolling Hills Elementary Teacher of the Year!
We are proud of you, Ms. Brown! Your RHES family knew you were something special, and now we get to celebrate it!
