|
May 11, 2010 - The Park City Education Foundation is proud to announce the recipients of the 2010 Doilney-Barnes Teaching Excellence Awards and the Sarah & Stephen Doilney Teaching Excellence Award. Each spring, the Park City Education Foundation (PCEF) announces an example of teaching excellence at each of the Park City School District’s seven schools, as voted by teachers and school district staff, PCSD’s Board of Education, PTO/PTA officers and PCEF’s Board of Directors. More than 80 teachers received nominations from their peers. The recipients at each school are:        In addition, PCEF asked the Senior Class to nominate a teacher they considered most influential to them for the Sarah & Stephen Doilney Teaching Excellence Award. The Class of 2010 voted, and Roger Arsht*, an English teacher at Park City High School, is this year’s recipient.  Representatives from throughout the community, including PCSD Superintendent Dr. Ray Timothy, Park City Council member Cindy Matsumoto, School Board members Kim Carson, Anne Bransford and Moe Hickey, as well as PCEF Board members and PTO parents, came out to celebrate these teachers on the snowy Tuesday in May.  These awards are made possible with the generous contributions of the Doilney family and Mike Barnes and the Sarah & Stephen Doilney Teaching Excellence Award Endowment. PCEF organizes the presentation each year, this year with an Excursion limousine donated by Park City Transportation and balloon bouquets sponsored by Park City Council member Liza Simpson. Congratulations to all our teachers for their amazing work with our students every year! * denotes teachers who have also received PCEF Teacher Grants in recent history  PRAISE & ACCOLADES Voters could also offer comments about their nominee.

More than $100,000 was raised that night to help suport math and science in Park City's public schools. PCEF proudly hosted over 200 guests who have a deep appreciation and strong commitment to improving education in our school district. The night's featured entertainment, the Park City High School Jazz Band, showed once why they are nationally recognized and award-winning. Thank you to Director Chris Taylor and his talented students, who not only gave our guests a great show, but gave up part of their Homecoming celebrating to share the night with us.
