KINS Alum Awarded School Teacher of the Year Honor

KINS Alum Awarded School Teacher of the Year Honor

After graduating from TWU with her bachelor's (2010) and master's (2013) degrees in kinesiology, Nicole Arrington was ready to be a physical educator - and an excellent one at that. Arrington recently was named 2017 Teacher of the Year at Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences (TABS) in the Fort Worth ISD.

"I do my utmost to instill in my students the love of movement not just in the gym but outside of it as well," she said. 

With this recent award, her enthusiasm for her school and her students was recognized by her fellow teachers. Arrington has taught at TABS for six years. 

"TWU's kinesiology department made the most impact on me as a successful physical educator, as did the health and education departments," she said. "I can't thank my professors at TWU enough for instilling in me the desire to make a significant difference in the lives of young people."
