Peggy Buckley, daughter of Phyllis and the late Thurman Belcher, has been selected as Stanislaus County Teacher of the year. Peggy attended Tehachapi schools from second grade through high school. After graduating from Tehachapi High School, she received her Bachelors degree from University of Kansas.
Peggy teaches first grade in Ceres, Calif.
She said, “It's not an exaggeration to say that teaching is in my blood. My grandparents and my parents were teachers. From an early age I saw the challenges faced, the sacrifices made and the struggles encountered by teachers. I chose to teach anyway. For me, being a teacher isn't just a job. It's who I am.”
Along with the honor, Peggy received a $1,000 cash award to use in her classroom
