🎉 Shout out to Teacher of the Year Finalist: Chauncey Foreman! 🎉
For 7 years, Mr. Foreman has been transforming lives through teaching. Now, he's come full circle: inspiring students at Deep Creek HS, the very place where he graduated in 2012. This Liberty University graduate and history teacher is dedicated to showing students what's possible beyond high school.
He helps students see their potential through mentorship and real-world connections. As co-founder of Men of Excellence, a life-changing mentoring group, and recipient of the WTKR People Taking Action Award for his inspiring COVID-era music video, Mr. Foreman leads by example.
Words from his former teacher still guide him: "Do what you can and let everything else work itself out."
Join us in celebrating Mr. Foreman! 💜🤍 #CPSCelebrates #CPSTOY2026
