Teacher of the Month - Feb. 2026In cooperation with the Mayor's office and City Council, the Rotary Club of Okla. City recognizes an outstanding teacher in our community.
Taylor Belote received her bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with Special Distinction from the University of Oklahoma in 2019 and was named the 2025 District Teacher of the Year for Edmond Public Schools, a distinction that recognizes not only her outstanding instructional practices but also her unwavering commitment to student success and her positive impact on the school community.
Taylor has taught Third Grade at Heritage Elementary since 2019, serves as the Third Grade Team Lead, serves on the Heritage Professional Learning Community Leadership Team, and has also served on the Heritage Elementary Celebrate Differences Committee. Taylor is a member of the EPS Foundation Advisory Board, the Heritage Elementary Lead Team, and has served on the Edmond Public Schools Science Curriculum Adoption Committee. She also serves as a University of Central Oklahoma Student Teacher Mentor guiding the next generation of educators.
Taylor creates a classroom environment centered around inclusion and prioritizing student relationships, a place where her dedication to making learning fun and meaningful is showcased and a setting where she empowers students of all backgrounds and abilities to achieve success through her thoughtful guidance and high expectations. Her emphasis on positive attitudes and personal responsibility fosters a culture of enthusiasm for learning, encourages students to grow both academically and personally, and reflects positively on her school, district, and the broader community. Taylor’s contributions extend beyond the classroom through her involvement in school and district initiatives, her commitment to professional development, and her dedication to creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all. Taylor’s dedication to education reflects her commitment to academic excellence and the development of future leaders. Her classroom is a place of encouragement where students are inspired to reach their full potential.
Congratulations, Taylor!
