Carmel ES Teacher Named STEM Teacher of the Year by Museum of Aviation

Carmel Elementary School (CES) teacher Merry Willis has been named the Museum of Aviation National STEM Academy's STEM Teacher of the Year for 2014-2015. Willis was nominated by the school's 2013-2014 principal, Keith A. Bryant. Both the school and Willis will receive a $1,000 prize for the achievement.

Willis is responsible for building CES' STEM program from scratch two years ago. More than 1,200 students in kindergarten through fifth grade participate in the STEM class once a week throughout the entire school year.

Three judges carefully reviewed the applications that were submitted. Judges were Katie Thompson, a STEM director at West Georgia RESA; Edwin Mills, a Master STEM Teacher in Bay County, Fla.; and Amy Hudnall, deputy director of the Georgia Center of Innovation for Aerospace. Melissa Spalding, director of education at the Museum of Aviation, visited Willis' classroom and took a tour of CES.

Willis was presented her award prize at the 4th Georgia NASA STEM Day Conference for Educators, held recently at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins.
