GREENSBORO — April Parker, assistant principal at St. Pius X School, has been selected to the Sophia Master Teacher Council.
The Sophia Institute for Teachers was founded in 2013 to renew and rebuild Catholic culture through service to Catholic education.
The Institute’s Master Teacher Council recognizes teachers and administrators nationwide who demonstrate exceptional instructional expertise, strong student outcomes and a proven ability to mentor and support fellow educators.
Members serve as instructional leaders, content experts and partners to teachers seeking to grow in pedagogical skill.
Charlie McKinney, president of the Sophia Institute, explained, “Selection to the Sophia Master Teacher Council reflects both professional excellence and a deep commitment to strengthening Catholic education through mentorship, collaboration and faithful witness.”
At a time when Catholic educators face increasing academic expectations, cultural pressures and the responsibility of forming students in faith and reason, the Sophia Master Teacher Council provides concrete, classroom-tested support by offering mentorship, practical resources and real-time guidance that strengthens and develops teachers and the students they serve.
