Mrs. Peggy Orosz wins Teacher Impact Award

There’s nothing like being surprised with good news. That’s what happened to 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Peggy Orosz this morning. Click here for the full photo gallery.

With the help of Principal Christie Heerschop, P-H-M Superintendent Dr. Jerry Thacker dropped in on Mrs. Orosz’ class to let her know she earned a P-H-M Impact Award for having the highest DIBELS growth for 2nd grade when measured from the beginning of the year to the middle of year; 100% of students met or exceeded their growth targets.

Dr. Thacker was accompanied by other members of P-H-M Administration Dr. Heather Short, Asst. Superintendent; Director of Professional Development Dr. Lavon Dean-Null; Ryan Towner, Director of Literacy; and Jennifer Turnblom McClain, Executive Director of the P-H-M Education Foundation.

The Spring 2025 P-H-M Teacher Impact Awards are given to educators who had the most significant individual student growth with DIBELS, IREAD, ILEARN, and AP testing. Dr. Thacker awarded five other teachers with Impact Awards on April 1st. Click here more details.

Thank you to the P-H-M Education Foundation for covering the cost for the beautiful crystal awards which teachers can proudly display in their classrooms.
