Justin Emrich of Olentangy Berkshire Middle School won in the category of primary and secondary educators, with Bill Plucker of Walla Walla High School receiving an honorable mention.
The Jack Miller Center’s Teaching Excellence Award is an annual honor recognizing college and K-12 educators who do an exceptional job engaging students in the story of America through primary documents, new courses, and/or extracurricular activities.
“With America’s 250th anniversary around the corner, it is so important that we recognize outstanding educators who have committed their lives to teaching about our country, its history, and our responsibilities as citizens,” JMC president Hans Zeiger said. “These exceptional educators are setting the example and making a profound difference every day. We thank them for all they are doing for their students and for our country.”
