In a heartwarming surprise during the College Football Playoff Foundation's Extra Yard for Teachers Week, the USF College of Education proudly honored Pasco
County Teacher of the Year, LeAnne John. She was presented with a $1,000 gift card
for Donors Choose and a bundle of exciting USF goodies to celebrate the Big Day for
Teachers on Tuesday, September 17.
LeAnne, an agriculture teacher at Zephyrhills High School and USF College of Education
alumna, is not just a teacher, but a mentor who dedicates herself to instilling essential
industry skills in her students and empowering them to pursue future careers. Her
extraordinary efforts extend beyond the classroom and into a school-owned farm where
her students gain hands-on experience working with animals.
The College of Education and the USF Education Alumni Society continued its celebration with a tailgate on September 21 before USF hosted Miami
in Raymond James Stadium. It celebrated the incredible impact of local teachers on
our communities with good food, fun games, and exciting football.
