Local – Leah was first awarded our chapter’s Middle School American History Teacher of the Year Award. She represented our Cincinnati chapter in our state’s American History Teacher Contest.
State – she was soon selected as the Ohio SAR State Middle School Teacher of the Year.
National – then she went on to represent the State of Ohio in the National SAR American History Teacher Contest. Even though she did not win the National award, we were informed by the national selection committee, she was a top five finalist.
Well done Leah.
We are very fortunate to have educators like her in our classroom.
