Carroll continues STEM Excellence streak, nine teachers honored by Ohio Academy of Science
Carroll High School remains the only area high school to earn the Ohio Academy of Science Governor’s Thomas Edison Award for Excellence in STEM Education every year since its inception after once again winning the honor in 2020.
According to the Ohio Academy of Science, the criteria for the Thomas Edison Award for Excellence are: (1) conduct a local science fair with twelve or more students, (2) qualify two or more of these students for one of the Academy's 17 district science days, (3) have students participate in at least one or more youth science opportunities beyond the classroom such as State Science Day, Buckeye Science & Engineering Fair, Science Olympiad, and other structured STEM-related youth activities, (4) and convince external STEM professionals how and to what extent the school’s program met the Academy’s definition of STEM education.
2019-20 Carroll faculty Dr. Christina O’ Malley, Laurie Fuhr, Mary Ollier, Katie Baker, Diane Keller, Laura Wright, Meghan Mulligan, Mike Lakin, and Todd Tayloe earned individual recognition from the review committee.
