Inaugural Excellence in Civic Education Award
Fostering Great Teachers is Central to Revitalizing Civic Education
At JMC, supporting the work of educators is at the heart of our mission. We are dedicated to giving our K-12 teachers and college professors the resources they need to make a real impact with their students.

This year, we are excited to introduce our inaugural Excellence in Civic Education Award to recognize outstanding educators at the K-12 and college levels.

After reviewing numerous outstanding submissions, we would like to announce our winners: Mr. Enrico Pucci, 8th grade history teacher at the Manatee School for the Arts (Palmetto, Florida) and
Rita Koganzon ([link removed]) , assistant professor of politics at the University of Virginia.

They each received a $1,000 prize to recognize their great work.

With his 8th grade students, Enrico succeeds in instilling the core founding ideals of equality, liberty, and justice and finding innovative ways to connect those ideals to the political questions even students at this age are grappling with.

At the college level, Rita enables her students to challenge their own political beliefs and helps her students to think deeply about the Constitution’s role and the protections it provides.

Mr. Pucci and Professor Koganzon use creative teaching methods to engage and inspire their students. They look for opportunities to encourage them to think about the ideas behind the American founding and what our history and founding principles mean — both inside the classroom and out.

Will you help us do more for our nation's educators?

We believe that "the battle for the soul of our nation will be won or lost in our classrooms." How we win is by helping more educators make the kind of life-changing impact Rita and Enrico make teaching their students.

Education is needed for every generation if we are to continue the founder's "experiment in liberty." Teachers are central to the inspiration our young people need to think for themselves, understand how to safeguard their freedoms, and to preserve America's founding principles for today and tomorrow.

With your support, we can make it possible for educators as well as students to excel all across America.
