Congratulations to Anderson Elementary School art teacher Autumn Roe on being selected for a Fulbright Teacher Exchange award for the 2026–27 cycle!

Autumn is among approximately 2,500 U.S. citizens selected to teach, study, and conduct research abroad this academic year through the Fulbright Program, an international educational exchange program of the U.S. Department of State.

Through the program, she will have the opportunity to learn alongside educators internationally, explore innovative educational practices, and bring new ideas and perspectives back to her students and colleagues at BTCS.

Autumn will learn in December which country will be her Fulbright destination! We can’t wait to find out where this experience will take her.

Please join us in congratulating Autumn on this outstanding achievement! 🌎
