We’re excited to congratulate our Quarter 1 RISD Super Teachers! On October 28, eight educators across the district were surprised and celebrated by Superintendent Branum for the incredible work they do every day to support students, build community, and elevate learning.
A special spotlight goes to Brent Morton of Richardson High School, whose energy, compassion, and commitment to student growth shine in and beyond the classroom. Brent consistently goes above and beyond to ensure students feel seen, supported, and capable of achieving excellence. His work reflects the spirit of what it means to be a Super Teacher in RISD.
