County Honors 2015 Teacher of the Year

Forsyth County has named Marlo Miranda, an automotive technology teacher at Forsyth Central High School, the 2015 Teacher of the Year. The award was given to Miranda at a banquet on Friday.

Miranda has taught at Central High School since 2004, according to Forsyth County News.

“He’s why people should become a teacher,” Mitch Young, principal at Central High School said, according to the news source. “Not to overplay it, but he really is saving lives, one kid at a time. For some of them who don’t see a use for school, he turns it around.”

Miranda sees Central High School as more than just a job, according to the news outlet.

“It’s really more like being in a family than going to work every day,” Miranda said.
