Awards Go to SGS Faculty & Staff

Saint George's has some amazing people working here, and Nov. 22 was a day to honor some of them.  Head of School Jamie Tender presented the annual Faculty and Staff awards in the Schmidt Center Gym with the full student body present to cheer.  Congratulations to Upper School Chemistry teacher Ian Townley, who received the Fred Gilbert Distinguished Teaching Award.  The Harvey W. Clarke Award for Excellence in Teaching went to 5th grade teacher MacKenzie Crittenden.  Admissions Director Tami Peplinski received the Jim Stecher Staff Excellence Award. 

The biggest honor, The Hannah L. Joss Fellowship, carries with it a stipend big enough to allow a teacher to travel anywhere in the world to enhance their classroom teaching abilities.  The fellowship was awarded to 3rd grade teacher Denie Inman, who hopes to travel to England and Ireland next summer to explore her family history and bring back resources and insights to share with her students.  See a Photo Gallery of the ceremony and the happy winners!
