Three vie for Pasco teacher of the year WESLEY CHAPEL — One was headed for life as an engineer until a chance to tutor other students at his high school sent him in a different direction. Another leads students in an after-school effort to help the underprivileged. The third let her love for reading and writing guide her into the life of a teacher. The three finalists for Pasco’s Teacher of the Year are Patrick Connolly, a math teacher at Land O’ Lakes High; James Washington, a ninth-grade language arts teacher at Zephyrhills High; and Marci Williams, a teacher of third-grade gifted students at Wesley Chapel Elementary. The winner will be announced Saturday evening during an event sponsored by the Pasco Education Foundation and held at the Center for the Arts at River Ridge High School.
