CBS this morning brought to light a story first published by the Baltimore News Journal on October 12, 2013, when Sean McComb was named Maryland’s Teacher of the Year for 2013-2014.
McComb is an English teacher at Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts in Baltimore County. In the CBS segment, one of his students was interviewed with teary eyes stating what a life-changing experience it had been having Mr. McComb (only 30 years old) as her teacher.
Lillian Lowery, State Superintendent of Schools, stated in October, “Sean personifies the cutting edge Maryland educator.” she further stated, “He is an energetic instructor, making certain his students set goals.”
In his CBS interview, McComb stated, “I teach students, not English….I hope I can make a difference in some lives.”
Sean, you already have. My mother was an educator recognized before I was even born in Who’s Who in North Carolina Education. She was my great hero. She not only made a difference in my life, pushing me on to success, she did the same for countless others, both children and adults.
Here’s to Sean McComb and the many other great teachers who love our youth and encourage them to be all that they can be! You are among America’s and the world’s greatest heroes!
