Stacey Trevillyan of Knoxville was selected as the 2023 Teacher of the Year by the Masonic Lodge in Knoxville. She currently teaches four-year-olds at the Little Panther Pre-School. She has been teaching for five-years.

Trevillyan tells  KNIA/KRLS News, “I’m very honored and humbled to receive this. I always said I never came into teaching to get an award. But, I’m very honored and very appreciative that they picked me this year, especially being the young teacher that I am.”

Next year she will teach three-year-olds in the morning and four-year-olds in the afternoon.

Trevillyan said what she likes about the job is it’s getting a chance to be a little kid everyday at work and she gets a chance to play with toys.
