Upchurch

Chase Street Elementary School gifted education teacher and alumna Elizabeth (Beth) Upchurch has been named a Fountain Award recipient by State School Superintendent John Barge (EdD ’04). Upchurch was surprised with the announcement when Barge was at the school due to its being named a National Blue Ribbon School, reported a story in the April 15 Athens Banner-Herald.

Fountain Awards are given four times per year, and began in fall 2011 when presented to Marty Fountain, a teacher and coach who significantly impacted Superintendent Barge.  Upchurch was nominated for the award by Rachel Kulikoff, Clarke Central High School’s 2011 valedictorian and Clarke County’s STAR Student.

Upchurch received her master’s in education from UGA.
