Twenty-four teachers from Indian Prairie School District 204 recently earned National Board Certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
They are: Mary Brigman, Brookdale Elementary School; Brandy Bushby, Georgetown Elementary School; Christopher Cebrzynski, Neuqua Valley High School; Lynn Domek, Welch Elementary School; Clayton Figi, Neuqua Valley High School; Hillary Gibson, Clow Elementary School; Rebecca Graske, Georgetown Elementary School; Jennie Grigas, Neuqua Valley High School; Carol Hess, Georgetown Elementary School; Elizabeth Highland, Crone Middle School; Natalie Hoyle, Spring Brook Elementary School; Julie Kresl, Longwood Elementary School; Christine Leek, Brooks Elementary School; Karen Lorch, Georgetown Elementary School; Kinjal Marfatia, Waubonsie Valley High School; Jennifer McAtee, Georgetown Elementary School; Adrianne O’Neal, Neuqua Valley High School; Jacqueline Palmquist, Metea Valley High School; Stephanie Stevens, Waubonsie Valley High School; Tina Theis, Fry Elementary School; Megan Watson, Granger Middle School; Kristine Weidel-Porter, Georgetown Elementary School; Lauri Zalaznik, Gregory Middle School; Melanie Zolnier, Georgetown Elementary School.
District 204 has 161 teachers with National Board Certification, making Indian Prairie second only to the Chicago Public Schools in the number of National Board Certified teachers on staff.
National Board Certification is the most prestigious credential a teacher can earn. Like board certified doctors and accountants, teachers who achieve National Board Certification have met rigorous standards through intensive study, expert evaluation, self-assessment and peer review. The process can take up to three years to complete.
Superintendent Kathy Birkett said the board of education will honor the teachers at its Jan. 24 meeting.
“We are incredibly proud of our teachers for their hard work in earning this certification. These are teachers who are truly committed to their work and their students.”
