Ransom, Northview Social Studies Teachers Honored

November 17, 2014


The Escambia County School District’s Social Studies Teachers of the Year — Anna Barry from Northview High School and Margie Weiss from Ransom Middle School — were recently recognized during an awards banquet at the State Social Studies Conference.

Lauren Samoszenko, a civics teacher at Ramsom Middle School, was presented with the Warren Tracey Beginning Teacher Award by Michael Galfond, of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This award, sponsored by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, is to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of social studies teachers new to the field of education, who engage students in meaningful lessons to increase student awareness, who are involved with school and community activities, and who are leaders on behalf of education.

“Lauren Samoszenko is one of those beginning teachers that a principal is so glad to have hired. She is a natural teacher,” said Ransom Middle Principal Brent Brummet.
