Cara Cronk, 2011 Teacher of the Year: Indian Trails Middle

January 13, 2011 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

Cara Cronk, Indian Trails Middle School Teacher of the Year, Flagler County, 2011
Cara Cronk

Inspired by the exceptional teachers who invested themselves in my life, I chose to pursue a career that would make a difference in the lives of others. With over fifteen years of teaching that encompassed all grade levels, I have the privilege of touching the lives of more than 1,500 students, many of whom remain in contact with me today. Born and raised in South Florida, I graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 1995. I taught in Palm Beach County for nine years before relocating to Palm Coast in 2004 with my husband, Justin, also a teacher, and two daughters, Hailey and Rebecca.

I enjoy traveling with my family, especially to destinations where moose can be observed in their natural habitat. I recently ran the FL Central Ragnar Relay, a 201-mile relay race across the state of Florida from Port Richey to Daytona Beach with eleven teammates. I am running my first half marathon in January.

Asking tough questions is increasingly met with hostility. The political climate—nationally and right here in Flagler County—is at war with fearless reporting. Officials and powerbrokers often prefer echo chambers to accountability. They want news that flatters, not news that informs. They want stenographers. We give them journalism. You know by now, after 16 years, that FlaglerLive won’t be intimidated. We dig. We don't sanitize to pander or please. We report reality, no matter who it upsets. Even you. But standing up to this kind of pressure requires resources. We need a community that values courage over comfort. Stand with us, and help us hold the line. Fund the journalism they don't want you to read. No paywall. But it's not free. Take a moment, become a champion of enlightening journalism. Any amount helps. We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit news organization. Donations are tax deductible.
