SCOPE teacher Javonda Barnes was honored last week as the Mehlville School District’s 2014-2015 Teacher of the Year during the district’s annual Recognition Night celebration.

District administrators chose Barnes from among the 19 teachers who were selected as Teachers of the Year from each individual school, according to a district news release.

Barnes has been employed by the Mehlville School District since 2007.

She is a Missouri Options teacher at SCOPE, which is a collaborative learning center that accepts students from eight surrounding school districts. Barnes has a master’s degree in education, which she earned from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 2009.

SCOPE Principal Polly Richardson stated in the release, “Javonda is an inspiration to the students and the staff at SCOPE. She puts every minute of every day into giving each student the very best chance at academic success at SCOPE and at life success when they leave.

“We are blessed to have such a wonderful educator and special person serving these students.”
