Congratulations to the 2026 Harrisonville Schools Rising Star Teacher of the Year, Taylor Brown, 5th-grade teacher at McEowen Elementary Wildcats
Sponsored by the Community Bank of Harrisonville, the Rising Star Award recognizes teachers in their first five years who are already making a meaningful impact on students.
Taylor is in her fifth year of teaching, including four years in the district. In her finalist essay, she shared, “Teaching is not just a career for me. It is something I care deeply about because it allows me to build relationships, help students grow academically and personally, support my colleagues, and make a lasting impact beyond my own classroom.”
Congratulations, Taylor—we are proud to celebrate the difference you are making each day!
