Congratulations to Mary Bybee, the Teacher of the Year at Cache High!
After 29 years of working as an educator, Mary Bybee has taught many students who made a lasting impact on her life. As a result of her love for students and her ability to push them to be their best, Bybee has been selected as the Teacher of the Year at Cache High for the 2019-2020 school year.
In her nearly three decades in education, Bybee has taught every grade level from preschool to 12th grade. Her desire to help people in need is what inspired her to pursue a career as a teacher. “It has made me a more understanding person and I have realized that some things don’t happen overnight, but with hard work, you can make progress,” Bybee said.
Cache High Principal Sheri Hansen has a long history of working with Bybee and is thrilled to be her colleague. Hansen described Mary as an excellent teacher and a priceless addition to the staff at Cache High. “She understands special education inside and out,” Hansen said. “She loves kids and is willing to push them toward success even when they think they can't do anymore. She has the ability to get more work out of them — which is important when students want to give up easily.”
Bybee appreciates the opportunity to interact with new students each year. She said, “I love meeting the students and spending time with them. I love it when they learn something new that they have had a difficult time with.”
