MCMS Teacher Celebrated by State Organization

The Tennessee Association for the Gifted (TAG) is recognizing a Mill Creek Middle gifted teacher with one of its most prestigious awards.

Cody Hawks received the TAG Horizon Award, which honors a rising educator with fewer than five years of experience in gifted education who demonstrates remarkable skill, innovation and passion.

“I feel so honored to be recognized for the Horizon Award,” Hawks said. “From supporting general education teachers in the classroom to providing students with opportunities to learn and grow in an advanced academic setting, I do my best to support our gifted students every day.”

Hawks is in his fourth year as a gifted educator. The award was officially announced at the annual TAG Horizon Conference.

“It is a great feeling to be recognized by my peers in gifted education,” he said. “I am proud to represent Williamson County and Mill Creek Middle, and I will continue to give my all for my students and teachers each and every day.”

In addition to Hawks’ award, several other WCS educators played a role in the annual conference. Stephanie Higgs and Amy Smith both presented at the conference, and Amy Smith, Emily Hollett and Amber Elkins serve on the organization’s board.
