2023 STEM graduate Brinda Malik joined STEM administrators to surprise Secondary Science Teacher Kent Schnacke and our College and Career Counselor Kelli Myrick with the Boettcher Foundation Teacher Recognition Award. These awards honor the work that teachers and counselors do and the impact they have on their community.
The award includes a grant of $500 for the teacher and $100 for the counselor to be used at their direction for an educational project, activity, professional development, or piece of equipment that they feel will benefit students and the school.
Last school year Brinda was the recipient of The Boettcher Scholarship and was given a full ride to The University of Denver. As part of that scholarship, Brinda identified Mr. Schnacke and Mrs. Myrick as playing a significant role in her education at STEM.
