GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla —
At Seamark Ranch School, there's a quiet force making a profound impact on the lives of students and staff.
James Turner has been teaching for over ten years and truly loves what he does.
“He’s the best teacher I ever had," said a student.
Turner is a teacher whose compassion, and dedication have earned him the heartfelt admiration of the entire school community, and the honor of being named Teacher of the Week.
"Mr. Turner embodies the essence of what it means to be a teacher," Principal Jennifer Bowmaster said.
In Mr. Turner's classroom, quotes fill the board to inspire students. With his gentle demeanor and genuine passion for education, he creates a safe and welcoming space where students feel valued and supported.
But Turner's impact extends far beyond the classroom. As a mentor, counselor, and friend, he is a constant source of support and encouragement for his students.
This recognition came as a surprise and was well deserved.
