Honeycutt has been an educator for over seven years. She begins every school year getting to know her students, their goals, what makes them unique and what they hope to accomplish at school. Her motto is a quote from Aristotle, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”Nathanael Wooley, a World History teacher at Summer Creek High School, is the 2022-2023 Secondary Teacher of the Year. Wooley received a $5,000 check sponsored by the Humble ISD Education Foundation. Wooley, an educator for over 12 years, identifies a way to connect with students through his style of teaching. He strives to make his class different from the rest. When teaching the Mongol Empire to his AP World History students, he chooses to play Mongolian folk rock in class and discuss it with students rather than give traditional presentations where students take notes. Each year during the spring semester, Humble ISD schools choose a Teacher of the Year for its campus. The 2022-2023 Finalists and District Teachers of the Year were chosen by a district selection committee based upon essays and interviews in March and April. All District Finalists were honored on stage at the annual Boots and Bling Gala and walked away with a new laptop donated by GTS Technology Solutions and a Whataburger Yeti cup. Honeycutt and Wooley also received free Whataburger for a year. Each finalist was furnished with two complimentary tickets to the annual Boots and Bling Gala courtesy of Gulf Coast Educators Federal Credit Union.
