Delta Kappa Gamma has announced this year’s list of “Rising Star” teachers from Polk County Public Schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DKG is an international society that promotes women educators. Every year, the local Lambda chapter names a list of Rising Stars, who are new “exemplary and promising” teachers (male or female) from PCPS schools, nominated by their principals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
