Kyle Hoover was nominated by an anonymous student.
At the end of last year, Mr. Hoover received a note from one of his student's grandmothers. Part of the note is below:
"I wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for giving [my grandson] a great year in third grade. The Good Guy Award is hanging on his wall...He learned a lot this year, but it was not all 'book learning.' You taught the kids life lessons that will stay with them over the years."
Part of Mr. Hoover's response is below:
"Thank you so much for the kind words. Your grandson is a sensitive soul and more than just a 'good guy.' I really appreciate his point of view and character."
"This exchange of emails with my grandmother demonstrates why I think Mr. Hoover is a LifeChanger," said the student.
During this school year and all of the challenges that the school, teachers and students faced, Mr Hoover has been a shining star for his students. He shows positivity and enthusiasm every day during distance learning and in the classroom. Mr Hoover’s joy for teaching shows everyday. My daughter has learned so much beyond the typical classroom curriculum. Well deserved!
Mr. Hoover stepped in and substitute taught most of the year when my now 11th grader was in 3rd grade after his original teacher had a baby. We loved him then and were especially happy when my daughter got him as her 3rd grade teacher this year. We can hear the zoom lessons and he always impresses us with his energy and happiness. His love of teaching is apparent. He is very deserving of this award.
I think Mr. Hoover should win the award because he is a great teacher he is always kind and Generous he would always make us happy and make us laugh and he was one of those teachers that you want to go to school just to see him. He is always donating always caring always loving always honest he is the best teacher a kid can ask for that’s why I would like him to win this award.

Way to go! It is so great to be such a positive light in a child's life! I am proud to work in the same district! #WestShoreProud!
So overly elated and PROUD of you for receiving this nomination! Being a former student of our "Little" Fairview Elementary School, it is so AMAZING to see you have grown and are doing BIG things! How wonderful that you became a teacher and are now experiencing the rewards of this profession! Way to go, KYLE!!!!!!
I've know Kyle Hoover since college, and can attest to the fact that he has always had a passion for teaching. This was his true calling in life. His enthusiasm for wanting to make a difference in young peoples lives, and his positive attitude I'm sure translates into him making a deep impact in the classroom. Congratulations on the nomination!
The last reason Kyle teaches is to get awards for doing so. Seeing a children 'get it' and extrapolate an educational idea for themselves is the source of his joy as a teacher.
Mr Hoover never gave up on my son who struggles with extraordinary ADD.
He made my son feel valued.
To this day, nearly 8 years later, Daniel still uses Mr Hoover's faith in him as his inspiration to keep fighting his learning disability.
Kyle Hoover is a phenomenal teacher! Both of my boys have been fortunate enough to have him for 3rd grade. My oldest is in 8th now and STILL says Mr. Hoover is his favorite teacher. My youngest is in Mr. Hoover’s class currently, and he has been a rockstar throughout Distance Learning! He finds ways to connect one on one with his students, even through the computer screen. I know it will be even better once they are face to face. I just can’t say enough good things! THANK YOU, Mr. Hoover for everything you give to these kids! We appreciate you.
Kyle is a fine young man. I’ve know him since he was a young boy playing soccer with my sons.

From knowing you for all these years I know that you truly deserve this award and I am also sure that you definitely are helping these young people develop into amazing and caring individuals.

Congratulations Mr.Hoover!!!, much deserved award for sure. Being new to this area and Tiana being nervous because of that and a guy teacher, you made the transition so easy for her. She looked forward to going to school everyday because of you. You are an amazing teacher despite the challenges that come with being a teacher you dont let those bring you down and change the way you teach and treat your students. That is a rare quality one in which you possess. We were blessed in having you for Tianas first year at highland. Life changer for sure!!!
I have had the distinct honor of working with Kyle Hoover for many years at Highland Elementary. I was a Gifted Support Teacher who co-taught and covered his room when he went to meetings to support his students. Not only did his students love and respect him, through his example, they modeled behaviors much needed In our current politically charged world. His emphasis upon kindness, honesty, responsibility, and friendship were life changing for students and his peers. Kyle deserves this recognition.
Klye was a long term sub at our school before he was hired full time. Everyone loved him, students and teachers. His positive attitude brightened everyone’s day!
Congratulations, Kyle! I am proud to have worked with you!
Congrats! #WestShoreProud

Mr. Hoover, you are so deserving of this award!!! You are an amazing teacher! You strive to engage and help your students in any way you can while being fun, energetic and understanding.

You were a great student and now you are a great teacher seeing the limitless possibilities in your students! So proud of you and the impact you are making!??

Wow! Congratulations, Kyle! We can only hope our little guy has an equally amazing teacher when he is old enough to attend school! Maybe it will even be you. Best of luck. You deserve it.
Amazing educator! Congrats Kyle!
Well deserved. Your love and care for children shines through. Congratulations Kyle!! :-)
Woohoo Kyle!! Well deserved!
After 30 years of teaching, I cannot think of a more deserving teacher! He is a pleasure to work with as a colleague! The exchange the person who nominated Kyle could not have said it better!! I am so happy that Kyle is getting the recognition he so deserves!
I could not think of a person more deserving than Mr. Hoover. In less than a month of teaching my daughter, she has grown so much. Her confidence shines, she is proud of the work she does, and she looks forward to putting the effort into her work. He has an amazing way of making kids feel important. He is great at directing them into other ways of thinking when something doesn't make sense. He takes the time with each student to let them know they are awesome and serve a purpose in this world. He is a wonderful human being and a great example of what a teacher should be.
Mr Hoover is an amazing teacher!! My son had him for 3rd grade and he did nothing but amazing things with and for his students. Between encouraging words and positive feedback to attending his students sports events like they were his own children he has shown us what a teacher is supposed to be!
It is a true joy to work across the hall from the one and only Mr. Hoover! He is an awesome educator and inspires me all the time!!!
My daughter has only had Mr. Hoover as a teacher since August, but he is THE BEST! I wish I had him as a teacher when I was in school! I've had the pleasure of listening to his classes because of distance learning this year. He's so patient with the kids, and always responds kindly and purposefully. He offers life lessons in addition to his regular curriculum, and never puts any question aside. He is always positive and motivating, bringing out the best in his kids. I couldn't think of a more deserving person to be nominated for this award!
Excellent teacher. I know my daughter wishes he could be her teacher forever!
Congratulations Kyle! Even during our time growing up together, Kyle was a role model and life-changer. I'm glad he pursued a teaching career where he can share his kindness and passion for learning with generations of students. We are lucky to have great teachers like him in our community!
Keep making a difference in the lives of these young students especially through all of the turmoil and uncertainty that 2020 has brought!!!!!
Kudos!!!!
Kyle Hoover was life-changing for my daughter and our whole family. Her year in his class was pivotal both academically and beyond. Well deserved!
So excited for Mr. Hoover! He totally deserves this recognition and award. He has taught 3 of my 4 children and made a positive impact on each one of them. He treats his students like his own kids ?? Mr Hoover is one of our very favorite teachers!!! Good luck and fingers crossed from the Frey Family!!!!
Mr. Hoover is such a joy and teaches his students life long lessons to use in daily life. We were thrilled to have him as a teacher for our son and so sad our time got cut short because of the pandemic. His energy, enthusiasm, and positivity made a huge impact on my son and his other classmates. He always leads by example with his kindness and compassion. Mr. Hoover is an exemplary educator and human being. He is so deserving of such an award!
Kyle, you have always done right by your students. I miss working you. Keep up the great work!!!
Go Mr. Hoover! You totally deserve this award. We were super excited to see that Cliff got you this year as his teacher and we couldn't be happier with how you have handled distance learning. I LOVE how you respond to all of his assignments with audio comments--we know that takes time on your part but it is so special for him to hear your voice commenting on his work. I am super happy that starting next week he gets to sit in your classroom :) Your super energetic style doesn't allow for any boredom. CONGRATULATIONS :)
Mr. Hoover is an exceptional teacher and a joy to work with! He did an amazing job as we abruptly transitioned to online school in March. He has the perfect demeanor and methods to be a third grade teacher. My daughter will never forget him!
