#ThisIsAppalachia: Kentucky Teacher of the Year 2022
Willie Edward Taylor Carver, Jr., was named the Kentucky Teacher of the Year. He was honored at the White House this spring. But despite the recognition, he may not return to the classroom next fall. Carver teaches high school and college-level French and English at Montgomery County High School in Mt, Sterling, Kentucky in the Appalachian foothills. As a "proud gay man", he sounds a message of concern.
