Brooke Smith- 2026 Winner
Fitzgerald High School
“Ms. Smith is one of the best digital media and broadcast speech teacher she encourages all her students to do their best and also shows us the in’s and outs about tv production she’s been teaching the class for a long time and is very passionate about it and she makes her student feel the same way. Within both her classes she teaches us how to edit, direct and also we have our own news called Fitz news where we give updates on important school information and also learn how to direct a show, do interviews and also work cameras. She highly encouraged our class to participate in this contest since she has very strong feeling on road safety. She is definitely the one and only best candidate for this nomination.”

“Ms. Smith is an incredible teacher. She’s kind and friendly, and she’s always there whenever we need help. I sometimes feel uncomfortable asking a questions to the teachers, but I never feel that way around her because she always had this big welcoming smile. Ms. Smith inspires us to do our best, listens to our ideas, supports us and even when we are out of ideas for our projects she helps us to find one. She also creates friendly environments in the class, so no feels left out. I believe she deserves to win, and I’m glad to I have a teacher like her.”
