Choral director is Springfield’s public school teacher of the year

April 18, 2012 by Richard Allen Roe Leave a Comment

SPRINGFIELD, MO -Central High School vocal music teacher Alberta Smith is the 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year. Her professional accomplishments, commitment to students and passion for teaching are among the traits that distinguished her from the 42 nominees.

Alberta takes great pride in her career at Springfield Public Schools where she has been employed since 1995. As the choral music director at CHS, she has directed concert choir, chamber choir, women’s choir, men’s choir, Middle Years choir and musical productions that have received numerous recognitions and honors.

“I see myself as a ‘life coach’ that uses music and performance to teach young people life lessons,” Alberta said. “My greatest desire for them is to equip my students to succeed regardless of the professional career they choose.”
