2014-2015

Teacher of the Year - Elementary

Vanessa Griffin

From Principal, Christine Gibson (Paraphrased):

Vanessa Griffin was undaunted when charged with establishing and emerging art program within a very unorthodox and extremely flexible learning environment. She has persevered and has cultivated her students’ talents. The results are obvious when you see them beaming with pride. Her passion for sharing art appreciation requires her to think creatively about what will challenge her students to be their best. Thank you for the opportunity to honor Vanessa Griffin as Prestwick STEM Academy’s 2015 Teacher of the Year.

Teacher of the Year - Secondary

Mary Anderson

From Principal, Christine Gibson (Paraphrased):

Mary Anderson pours her time and talent into growing students academically and emotionally. She leads them to discover their own talents for expressing themselves through writing or journeying into literature. Her passion for Language Arts and Reading requires her to spend countless hours creating techniques that lead to their success regardless of their challenges. For good reason we are delighted to honor Mary Anderson as Prestwick STEM Academy’s 2015 Secondary Teacher of the Year.

From Principal, Christine Gibson:

Candice Stratton comes to work each day eager to serve. She strives to help each and every staff member in any way she can.

We just don't know what we would do without her.
