🌟Congratulations #CPSTOY25 finalist, Tori Henderson! 🌟
📚 Miss Henderson is an outstanding first-grade teacher at Thurgood Marshall Elementary with four years of experience! Starting her career during the pandemic, Tori quickly adapted to hybrid teaching and has since made a tremendous impact, both in and out of the classroom. Beyond academics, she is an active school volunteer who has served as Cheer and Spirit Coach and Tiger Academy Tutor.
As the daughter of two educators and a graduate of Norfolk State University with a B.S. in Psychology and Elementary Education, teaching is truly in her DNA! Miss Henderson’s classroom is a warm, structured environment where students feel safe, respected, and valued. Her ability to balance high expectations with a nurturing approach supports both academic and emotional growth. ❤️
In her role as Grade Level Chair, Tori fosters a collaborative environment, consistently supporting the success of both her team and students. As Chair of the Staff Engagement Committee, her enthusiasm and commitment have helped build a strong, connected school community.
👏 Join us in celebrating Tori Henderson, a teacher who brings patience, adaptability, and passion to her work every day! #CPSCelebrates
