Rachael Mahmood, a fifth-grade teacher at Georgetown Elementary School in Aurora, has been selected as the 2024 Illinois Teacher of the Year.
Rachael Mahmood is embraced by her fifth-grade students at Georgetown Elementary School in Aurora on Thursday after Mahmood was told she had been selected as Illinois Teacher of the Year. Rachael Mahmood, a fifth-grade teacher in Indian Prairie School District 204, has been selected as the 2024 Illinois Teacher of the Year.
Steven Isoye, chair of the Illinois State Board of Education, said at the announcement that Mahmood rose above other nominees because she “embodies the qualities of an exceptional educator and inspiring leader.” He praised her push for inclusion in and out of the classroom and her commitment to the craft of teaching.
“I just want other teachers to realize just how incredibly lucky we are to have a job where we get to hang out all day with kids who love us unconditionally, and we can make school and learning fun,” she said during her acceptance speech. “When we love our jobs, we love each other and we love what we do, it just feels like we don’t even work at all.”
At the announcement on Thursday, Georgetown Elementary School Principal Jill Keller said Mahmood is dedicated to her students, driven to collaborate with their families and has the creativity to build engaging and interesting lessons in the classroom. Mahmood joined Indian Prairie School District 204 as a teacher in 2005 and has spent the last nine years at Georgetown Elementary School in Aurora. According to District 204 Superintendent Adrian Talley, Mahmood is the first teacher in the district to be chosen as an Illinois Teacher of the Year.
