Three cheers for county
Teacher of Year finalists

Three teachers were named as finalists for St. Lucie Public Schools (SLPS) Samantha Lamora, first-grade teacher at Savanna Ridge Elementary School, after being named a Teacher of the Year finalist.
Teacher of the Year during surprise announcements on Monday. Luca Brad-
ley (Fort Pierce Central High School), Luke Hall (Treasure Coast
High School) and Samantha Lamora (Savanna Ridge Elementary
School) reveled in the news from delegates representing SLPS,
the School Board, St. Lucie County Education Foundation and
MidFLORIDA Credit Union.

SLPS Superintendent E. Wayne Gent said, “Our Teacher of the
Year finalists are outstanding individuals who are stand-outs in
their profession. These are the individuals students grow up to
remember as that ‘special someone’ who made a difference in
their lives. They positively impact the lives of our young people by seeing
them as individuals, building up their strengths, and helping them achieve
lofty goals.”

Locally, one of the three finalists will be selected as the SLPS Teacher of
the Year during the Night of the Stars gala scheduled for Feb. 10 at Lincoln
Park Academy’s auditorium in Fort Pierce. This person will then represent
SLPS in the Florida Department of Education – Macy’s Teacher of the Year
program. About the Teacher of the Year finalists ...

Luca Bradley is a social studies teacher at Fort Pierce Central

High School where he serves in multiple capacities beyond the

classroom including soccer coach, teacher mentor, and curric-

ulum specialist. Serving in this capacity was what he longed to

do as a child, and happily, he brought that dream to a reality four

years ago by returning to his alma mater to teach. He feels it is his

duty to help his students fulfill their quest for knowledge, inspire

their dreams, and influence their livelihoods.

Luke Hall, with 14 years of experience in education, is an arts

educator who serves as the band director at Treasure Coast High School. Luca Bradley, social studies teacher at Fort Pierce Central High School, after being named a Teacher of the Year finalist.
Luke Hall, Treasure Coast High School band director, after being named a Teacher of the Year finalist.
The growth of his students inspires him, and he also finds working with the

music program as a collection of large ensembles equally as rewarding in

that it provides an avenue for positively influencing the community. During

his six years as the Titan Band Director, the program has grown from 60

to nearly 200 students. He also launched a chorus program; organized a

successful booster program; and the various bands, ensembles, and color

guards proudly boast outstanding ratings at district and State Music Perfor-

mance Assessments (MPAs).

Samantha Lamora is a first-grade teacher at Savanna Ridge

Elementary School with five years of teaching experience. For

her, stepping into the role of a teacher is an answer to a lifetime

career calling she deems “magical.” She enjoys helping students

set goals and working with them to achieve their goals. Lamora is

inspired by her students desire to learn, grow, and celebrate their

own successes. With proficiency rates spiraling upward into the

nineties on the most recent math unit assessment in mathemat-

ics and writing scores improving by 57 percent, there is certainly

cause to celebrate.  ­– CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS: MITCH KLOORFAIN

An inexperienced player would have bid three no-trump with that North hand and
