Centennial High School world language teacher Hui Liang was recently named this year’s Maryland Language Teacher of the Year by the Maryland Foreign Language Association.

Liang has been teaching high school Chinese language for 24 years. During this time, she has become known for bringing the Chinese culture to life for her students through many enrichment activities and has become a professional leader not only in Howard County schools, but at the national level as well. HCPSS recognized her last year as the school system’s Language Teacher of the Year for demonstrating these qualities.
