Lisa Wheeler
2024-2025 Wilson County Schools Teacher of the Year
Hunt High Social Studies Teacher Lisa Wheeler was named the 2024-2025 Wilson County Schools (WCS) Teacher of the Year! Ms. Wheeler has been teaching for 27 years, with 22 of those years at Hunt. The classes she was teaching when she received this honor were Civics, AP Psychology and Economics & Personal Finance. Ms. Wheeler began her career with WCS in 1996 as a Social Studies Teacher at Speight Middle.
Ms. Wheeler is an incredible teacher. She is hardworking and effective. Her teaching is dynamic, and she constantly reevaluates her lesson plans by applying and examining new approaches to help students grow. She is committed to being the best teacher that she can be, and she truly loves her students and colleagues. A fellow teacher described her as “out working and out caring everyone else in the areas that make a great teacher - educating and nurturing students, fostering whole school involvement, and strengthening faculty relationships.”
Special thanks to Vester Auto Group for providing Ms. Wheeler the one-year lease of a new Chevy Equinox, Morkos and Molly Youssef (owners of several local restaurants) for gifting her $1,000 and the Wilson Education Partnership for partnering with WCS on the surprise visit and presenting her with a $1,000 cash prize. WCS also provided her with a $500 cash prize. Ms. Wheeler will now advance to the regional level of the statewide Teacher of the Year competition. She is truly deserving of this honor!
