NEW HANOVER COUNTY — New Hanover County’s Teacher of the Year Abbey Nobles has been named the Southeast Region Teacher of the Year for 2022.
An English teacher at New Hanover High School, Nobles will now compete with eight other educators for North Carolina Teacher of the Year. The winner will be announced in spring 2022.
“Mrs. Nobles is a teacher who truly meets students where they are,” Superintendent Dr. Foust stated in a press release. “Her classroom is a welcoming environment for all students. Her lessons are carefully crafted to make personal connections with students and the curriculum.”
Nobles has taught for six years and spent her entire career at New Hanover High, focusing on intensive behavior and English learners.
She works with the district’s Equity Workgroup to emphasize student voice and co-leads a subcommittee “to form school site groups to provide a space for students as a part of the Student Equity Teams,” according to the district’s release. Also in her role with the group, she helps organize parent information sessions and implicit bias training for students.
Nobles is a University of North Carolina at Wilmington graduate. She earned a degree in English with a concentration in Secondary Education and International Studies and a Spanish minor. She received her National Board Certification in 2020.
