TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Tiffany Dorris is a graduate of Fairview High School in Fairview, OK. In 1995, she moved to Oklahoma City to attend Southern Nazarene University. While attending SNU, she met and married her husband, Derek Dorris. After a couple of moves due to Derek’s coaching career, she returned to the metro area and graduated from UCO with a degree in sociology. In 2010, Tiffany knew that teaching was the path she needed to take and pursued alternative certification in mid-level English and mid-level social studies. Her first teaching job was at Cooper Middle School. In 2018, she was hired at Hefner to teach 7th grade English.
