Dripping Springs Elementary art teacher Molly McFee is one of five finalists statewide for the H-E-B Excellence in Education Leadership Elementary Teacher of the Year. The Leadership category indicates outstanding teachers with 10 to 20 years of experience.
The honor was kept a surprise from the educators, who learned they were finalists when H-E-B representatives visited their classrooms and schools with balloons, cookies and flowers. Finalists were presented with a $1,000 check, and their schools also received $1,000.
McFee has been teaching art at Dripping Springs Elementary for six years, providing instruction to more than 800 students. Previously, she taught art in Klein ISD for four years. McFee earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio in Art.
