Baytown names REL instructor Anne Sullivan teacher of year
Anne Sullivan, REL English and French teacher, was named Baytown's top teacher for 1985-86 by the Baytown Classroom Teachers Association. A 1968 UNC graduate, she moved to Baytown 10 years ago and found full time teaching after a long career in substitute teaching and raising her two sons. She credits a late decision to pursue more schooling and an offer from REL Principal Henry Armstrong for her position. Sullivan emphasizes writing and helping all students realize their power and abilities.
