Carrollton Junior High School STEM teacher Luke Young will be honored for his work as a middle school science teacher later this month at a special awards presentation at the University of West Georgia.
Mr. Young has been selected to receive the Annice Whatley Award for Excellence in Middle School Science Instruction, a scholarship presented by the College of Education. The $1,000 award was established to "recognize an exceptional middle school science teacher," according to the UWG notification letter.
"It is no surprise Mr. Young is being honored in this way," said Dr. Todd Simpson, CJHS principal. "He has done an incredible job building momentum in the field of STEM and his enthusiasm for it resonates with the students. We are very proud of him and pleased his work is being recognized."
Mr. Young will attend the College of Education Academic Assembly March 30. The ceremony will honor graduate students whose classroom performances have been recognized as particularly outstanding. Following the ceremony, a donor reception will be held for the students to meet benefactors of the various scholarships presented.
Mr. Young has been with Carrollton City Schools since 2005 and has been the seventh and eighth grade STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) teacher since 2014. Congratulations to him on receiving this special honor!
