Sarasota County Schools honors Women’s History Month by awarding three female educators

Sarasota County Schools recognizes exemplary educators each month. And on March 6, they honored three women — one future, one current and one legacy educator — for Women’s History Month.

“The school district believes education is a lifelong pursuit and is committed to highlighting future educators – students who have been inspired to pursue a career in the education field; current educators – a teacher, administrator or staff member who goes beyond to promote positive outcomes for all students; and legacy educators – individuals who have worked with the school district to create change and inspire new generations of students to excel,” according to a statement released by Sarasota County Schools.

The three recipients of the Sarasota County School's “Honoring Our Own” award were:

• North Port High School senior Sydney Burrows, an aspiring mathematics educator.
• Sarasota County Schools Mathematics Program Specialist and longtime educator Sue D’Angelo.
• Former Booker Middle School, Sarasota Middle School and Suncoast Polytechnical High School educator Deb Schultz.

Sue D'Angelo and Deb Schultz were also recognized during a special presentation at the March 5 School Board meeting in North Port.
