The
Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) Pacific Director’s
Office recently learned that three Department of Defense Education
Activity (DoDEA) educators from the Pacific were selected for
the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science
Teaching (PAEMST). The selection committee for the National Science
Institute has selected teachers from C. T. Joy Elementary School,
Chinhae, Korea; Seoul Middle School, Seoul, Korea; and Guam High
School, Guam, for this outstanding award.
The Presidential Award is the nation’s
highest honor for teachers of mathematics and science in grades
K–12. Each winner will receive a $7,500 grant from the National
Science Foundation to the recipient’s school to be used under
the recipient’s discretion, and an expense-paid trip to engage
in activities in Washington, DC, during which each Presidential
recipient will be presented with an award certificate signed by
the President of the United States.
“We are very proud of these
DoDDS Pacific educators. This award is a credit to our educators
and their pursuit of educational excellence,” stated Dr.
Steven Bloom, Deputy Director, DoDDS Pacific.
