Melissa ColonisThe Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST), the nation’s highest honor for teachers of mathematics and science, has announced the most recent PAEMST Awardees. Among the awardees is Lafayette Jefferson High school math teacher, Melissa Colonis. Colonis has been an educator for more than 20 years and is a member of ISTA.

 

The awardees will gather in Washington, D.C. for a series of events as a tribute to their accomplishments, where they will receive a certificate signed by President Obama and a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation.

 

We would like to congratulate Melissa for this huge honor! We are proud to call her a member of our association.
