A Teacher of the Year should be transformational, and that describes Heather Murfee perfectly. She has transformed the media center at Midlothian High School into one of the most engaging, inviting and informative environments in the building. Walk by and you will see students and classes everywhere. You will see students and teachers actively engaged in their learning, and you will see a wealth of smiles and enthusiasm. The reason for these profound improvements is simple: It’s because of Ms. Murfee. Midlothian High School is a community of excellence because of teachers like Ms. Murfee.
