Lexington 02 honors support staff and names Evangeline Reddick teacher of the year
Summary
At the district rally Lexington 02 announced its district support staff member of the year (a teaching assistant from Saluda River Academy) and named Evangeline Reddick, world languages department chair and French teacher, as the 2026–27 District Teacher of the Year.
Lexington 02 used its back-to-school rally to recognize district employees and present its annual awards.
Superintendent Dr. Angela Cooper introduced the district support staff member of the year — described in the remarks as a teaching assistant from Saluda River Academy — and asked support staff honorees to come forward for recognition. Cooper said support staff are "invaluable" and described the winner as kind, intuitive, positive and patient.
Cooper also announced the 2026–27 District Teacher of the Year. She named three finalists — Evangeline Reddick (world language teacher, Airport High School), Christy Tate (science teacher, Whitmore Casey High School) and Brianna Bramlett (first-grade teacher, Casey Elementary School) — and then introduced the winner: Evangeline Reddick, who serves as world languages department chair and French teacher. "Please join me in congratulating the 26 27 Lexington 02 School District Teacher of the Year," Cooper said, prompting applause.
The ceremony emphasized how district recognition reflects staff impact on students. Cooper framed the awards as part of a broader effort to celebrate "champions for children," noting that awardees represent the district's instructional and support systems that help students succeed.
The district did not provide additional prize or stipend details in the remarks; funding or subsequent recognition steps were not specified during the rally.
