Gov. Nathan Deal, in conjunction with the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement, unveiled “A Mission,” the ninth installment of the “Real Teachers Real Voices” campaign. This initiative, which highlights exceptional educators around the state, stems from feedback provided by Deal’s Teacher Advisory Committee. “A Mission” features Bynikini Frazier, an educator at Hodge Elementary School in Chatham County.

“Teaching should come from the heart,” said Frazier. “Heartfelt and passionate teaching leads to incredible student achievement. Teaching is an unbelievable journey of growth and development. It is an incredible ride of hope, gratitude, love and excellence. It’s not a job, it’s a mission. I am a teacher.”
