​

Fifty-one Norwood teachers will be honored for their work in the classroom at the annual Norwood Teacher of the Year Award Reception on Friday, May 3, at 6:00 p.m.

Hosted annually by the Orient Lodge of Masons, the Norwood Teacher of the Year awards recognize teachers for their dedication and commitment to the education of Norwood students.

This year’s nominee class is the largest ever and represents Norwood Montessori and every school in the Norwood Public Schools system.

​The nominees are:

Balch Elementary: Kimberly Duffy, Sandy Qualter
Balch & Cleveland Elementary: Lawrence Smith
Callahan Elementary: Catherine Breen, Jennifer Barr, Jill Wood, Katie Lambrenos, Michele McAvoy, Sara Ryan
Cleveland Elementary: Christina Beachnau, Janet Palladino, Joy Hughey*, Mary Wesley, Susan Kilduff

All nominees will be honored at the reception, and receive a certificate and a restaurant gift card. One teacher selected by a blind jury will be named Norwood Teacher of the Year and receive a cash award as well as a charitable school donation in their name. Hor d'oeuvres will be served.

Jack Tolman, director of TV and video services in the Norwood Public Schools, was nominated by colleagues for his 28 years of work on behalf of Norwood students and teachers, and this year he will also be honored during the event.

Originally conceived by the Exchange Club of Norwood, Orient Lodge now proudly organizes the annual event. In 2018, Cleveland Elementary teacher Joy Hughey was honored as Teacher of the Year among 30 nominees.
