Corey Walsh Awarded the Nora Radest Award for Excellence in Education
The SEF Nora Radest Award for Excellence in Education honors Nora, our past President and board member, whose vision for and dedication to SEF spanned many years. Each year, the award is given to a teacher or administrator who has submitted grants through the SEF process and, in so doing, has greatly enriched the classroom environment and served as a role model to others in the district.
SEF presented the 2017 Radest award to
Corey Walsh, SHS English Supervisor, at the High School awards ceremony on June 9th.
Corey has been a big supporter of SEF in many facets. Corey served on the SEF Grants committee where he helped the committee better understand the grants from a faculty perspective. Most notably was his link on the Forensics Debate Coach grant, which funded an additional debate coach for the rapidly expanding Forensics program. Corey also submitted his own grants including those for Quintessence to ensure SHS would have a published literary magazine. Corey served on the SEF board as a teacher representative. He was not only a valuable member during his 3 year term, but eagerly accepted a 4th
year when we needed a experienced teacher representative to mentor the incoming Elementary and Middle School teacher representatives. Corey's insight and thoughtful comments always spoke volumes.
Congratulations, Corey, and thank you for your unwavering support of SEF!
