Oklahoma City Public Schools announces their 2022-2034 teacher of the year as Kimberly Banz, a music teacher at Classen School for Advanced Studies (Classen SAS).
Banz has taught music for thirteen years and more than seventy students a day.
According to several Classen students, Banz has a reputation for being extremely patient and kind.
“I would not be where I am today without Mrs. Banz," Classen senior Poliana West said. "She taught me everything I know."
Banz said she is humbled to accept teacher of the year, but most importantly wants to act as a role model for students and teachers.
“We are role models," Banz said. "We need to teach our students how to become overcomers and keep positive attitudes."
Banz will find out if she takes the title of state teacher of the year in March.
