2010 - 2011 Atlanta Public Schools Teacher of the Year

Belita Hamilton of the Brown Middle School earned the coveted spot through not only tenacious fortitude, but a newfound compassion for educating. Both Ms Hamilton's parents were educators, who instilled in her a desire to impact with a passion.

Originally beginning as a athletic trainer, working with collegiate sports at University of Georgia, she had a change of heart that the administration and students in the Atlanta School system are so thankful came about. Her new direction caused her to be offered Tutorial Coordinator for the McGhee King Tutorial Center at the Sickle Cell foundation of Georgia. It was then her passion was fully realized, channeling her focus and direction on obtaining certification to teach math and science....the rest is history!

Congratulations Ms Hamilton on behalf of Atlanta Public Schools, parents and students alike! We thank you for all you do!
