Selma teacher is celebrated by Rep. Sewell for earning the title of National Civics Teacher of the Year
Veronica Pitts, a teacher from Alabama's historic 7th Congressional District, has been honoured with the prestigious title of National Civics Teacher of the Year. Hailing from Selma, a city that played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement, Pitts is following in the footsteps of her district's rich history.
Pitts' classroom at Selma High School is more than just a place for learning about government and economics. It's a hub where students learn about their role in shaping the government and the importance of civic engagement and community leadership. Her dedication to her students and her work in building the next generation of civic leaders, activists, and change agents has not gone unnoticed.
U.S. Representative Terri Sewell, who represents Alabama's 7th Congressional District, has long seen the transformational power of good education, especially in Selma. Sewell made remarks about Pitts on the House Floor, congratulating her on this well-deserved honour. She asked her colleagues to join her in congratulating Pitts, highlighting her tireless commitment to her students and the community.
The Edmund Pettus Bridge, a symbol of the Civil Rights Movement, is located less than two miles from Selma High School. The bridge, a site of numerous protests and marches, serves as a constant reminder of the district's rich history and the importance of standing up for what is right.
Pitts, the daughter of two lifelong educators who worked at Selma High School for over 36 years, has carried on the tradition of excellence in education. Her selection as the National Civics Teacher of the Year by the Bill of Rights Institute is a testament to her hard work and dedication.
The platform, a daily political news site devoted to Alabama politics, provides accurate, reliable coverage of policy, elections, and government. This honour further underscores the impact Pitts is having on her students and the wider community.
The people of Alabama's 7th Congressional District brought about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. With Pitts' work in inspiring the next generation of civic leaders, activists, and change agents, it seems the district's legacy of fighting for equality and justice continues.
