Goddard Public Schools is celebrating a historic achievement as Brandy Lane has been named Kansas Teacher of the Year, becoming the first educator from the district to earn the prestigious honor in its 142-year history.
Today, Brandy shared her excitement and gratitude during an interview with @KSN News, reflecting on what the recognition means not only for her personally, but for the entire Goddard community. She emphasized the importance of supporting students, building meaningful relationships, and helping every learner reach their full potential.
During the interview, Lane shared that this recognition was not only a personal accomplishment, but also a win for the entire Goddard community. She credited Goddard Public Schools for supporting and shaping her throughout her career and said earning this honor was her way of giving back to the district that has given her so much.
Known for creating engaging and inclusive learning experiences in her English Language Arts classroom at Eisenhower Middle School, Lane has helped students build confidence, find their voice, and develop a love of learning.
The celebration was made even more special when Credit Union of America stopped by to congratulate Brandy and present her with a gift basket in honor of this historic milestone.
Congratulations, Brandy, on this incredible honor and for representing our district with #265Pride!

It's been a busy week in Tiger Nation! Here is a glimpse of some of the action in the building 🐅🐾
The tables are set. The programs are ready. The stories are waiting to be celebrated.
Today, more than 25 volunteers came together to put the finishing touches on a very special day for Goddard Public Schools.
Students, Hall of Fame Planning Committee members, Goddard Education Foundation Trustees, Community Relations staff and interns, and other volunteers worked side-by-side to create the beautiful spaces and experiences that will welcome our Goddard Hall of Fame, Class of 2026 honorees, their families, friends, and guests tomorrow at Pathway Church.
From setting tables and preparing programs to arranging displays and working through all of the final details, so many hands have helped make this celebration possible. Thank you to every volunteer who gave their time and talents to help us honor the people and stories that have shaped Goddard Public Schools.
But today was also a reminder of why we do this.
During a break for lunch, our volunteers had the opportunity to get a first look at the Hall of Fame honoree videos that will be shared during tomorrow's celebration. Among those watching were current Goddard High School students and our Community Relations interns, young people who are just beginning to imagine where their own lives might take them.
That is an important part of the purpose of the Goddard Hall of Fame. We celebrate the accomplishments of generations who came before us, but we also share their stories to inspire the generations who will come next.
We want today's students to see themselves in these stories. Our honorees once sat in Goddard classrooms, walked these same hallways, learned from Goddard educators, and wondered what their futures might hold. Their journeys remind our students that where they begin does not define how far they can go, and that someday, their stories may inspire the generation that follows them.
And now, we are ready!
Tomorrow, Friday, September 18, we will celebrate the Goddard Public Schools Hall of Fame Class of 2026:
Dan Buchanan
Dr. Mary Cohen (Shinogle)
Jerry Longabaugh
Dr. Michael Vivion
Dr. Christopher Warren

There is still time to join us! Come celebrate these remarkable honorees and the legacy and future of Goddard Public Schools with us tomorrow.
