Boiling Springs High School Drama Teacher Kim Jones is the 2017 Chapman Cultural Center
Arts Educator of the Year.
Jones was presented the award at the Center’s
Cultural Champions Breakfast.
“What really does it for me is to see the child that sometimes is lost in that big school and sometimes never has a place until they come into the drama department. To see that child walk a little bit taller. To see that child begin to smile. To see that child make friends; and then I see them shining on that stage,” Jones said. “That’s what really keeps me doing this.”
