Four Georgia teachers were named recipients today of the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. They will receive their awards at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. on September 8. 
​

The Georgia winners are: 
  • Amanda Cavin, Unity Grove Elementary School, Mathematics 
  • Steven King, Whit Davis Elementary School, Science 
  • Marc Pederson, Paulding County High School, Science
  • Cindy Apley Rose, Couch Middle School, Mathematics​​ 
The Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching is awarded to outstanding K-12 science and mathematics teachers from across the country. The winners are selected by a panel of distinguished scientists, mathematicians, and educators following an initial selection process at the state level. Each nomination year of the award alternates between teachers in the kindergarten through 6th grade level, and those teaching 7th through 12th grades. The cohort of awardees named today represent two nomination years, one of teachers in kindergarten through 6th grade classrooms and the other in 7th through 12th grade classrooms.
​

Winners of this honor receive a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation to be used at their discretion, and are invited to Washington, D.C. for an awards ceremony, as well educational and celebratory events.
