Kent County Community School

Shoutout for Capital School District's Kent County Community School:

"Sharon Murray has served as an instructional lead with KCCS for the past year and a half, consistently demonstrating exceptional leadership, compassion, and dedication to her students and colleagues. She willingly stepped into one of the most challenging roles, working with students who exhibit some of the most complex behaviors, and has made a meaningful impact on their growth and success each and every day.

Sharon is always seeking opportunities to learn and grow professionally so she can better support the individual needs of her students. Her commitment to continuous learning and her passion for helping children succeed truly set her apart.

One of Sharon’s greatest strengths is her ability to build genuine relationships with her students. She takes the time to understand each child’s personality, strengths, and needs, forming meaningful connections that help her students feel comfortable and confident. She is a dependable team player, a positive influence within the school community, and someone who leads with both heart and professionalism. Sharon’s dedication and unwavering support make a lasting difference in the lives of her students and everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her." -Julie Williams

It’s National Teacher Appreciation, a chance to recognize the educators making a difference in our students’ lives every day.

Delaware’s 2025–2028 Education Strategic Plan calls for strong teaching, stronger instructional support, and a focus on educator workforce growth and retention. Celebrating great teachers and bright beginnings is part of that work.
