Episcopal congratulates 6th grade math teacher Nancy Callaway who earned national certification this year. Certification is granted by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan and nongovernmental organization and is achieved through a rigorous performance-based assessment that measures the content knowledge and professional expertise of accomplished teachers and school counselors. Annually, about 40 to 50 percent of teachers who seek this distinction are successful.

Episcopal now has 12 National Board certified teachers. Previously earning their National Board certification are 2nd grade teacher Renee Crousillac; Middle School science teacher Dawn Perret; Upper School social studies and religion teacher Emmitt Glynn; Middle School English teacher Martha Guarisco; Latin teacher Nathalie Roy; Upper School math teacher Pam Goodner; Upper School math teacher Kay Fenton; Upper School science teacher Babs Stapleton; Lower School Spanish teacher Georgina Lemoine; and Upper School French teachers Louise Stowell and Lynn Baudrand-Aertker.
