We are beyond proud to share that Mrs. Linsin, our incredible 6th grade Language Arts teacher, has been honored with the 2025 Hollins University Teaching Award!
What makes this recognition so special is not just the award itself - but who nominated her. One of Mrs. Linsin’s former students, Amber Persinger, thought so highly of her teacher that she took the time to submit a heartfelt nomination.
There is no greater honor for an educator than to know they’ve made such a meaningful difference in a student’s life that years later, that student wants to give back in this way. Amber’s words reflect what so many of us already know - Mrs. Linsin is an extraordinary teacher who inspires, uplifts, and truly changes lives.
Congratulations, Mrs. Linsin! Your impact goes far beyond the classroom, and this award is a beautiful reminder of the lives you’ve touched.
