Michelle Hymowitz, a STEM teacher at North County High School, has been named one of two STEM educators of the year by the Maryland Tech Council.
The awards are given annually by the council, the largest technology and life science trade association in the state, to those who make outstanding contributions to Maryland’s technology and life sciences communities.
“I am honored to be recognized for bringing my love of Earth and space to my students through speaker presentations, field trips, stargazing parties, and other events that I sponsor to help inspire my students to pursue a career in the field of Earth & Space Systems,” Hymowitz said. “I truly believe that STEM will be the path to a better future.”
The Council bestows awards in 17 categories. Victoria Lee of Charles Herbert Flowers High School in Prince George’s County was the other STEM Educator award winner.
“We are excited to recognize these outstanding leaders and companies,” Kelly Schulz, CEO of the Maryland Tech Council, said in announcing the awards. “In addition to growing their companies and raising the bar of excellence in Maryland, we are proud that these winners are passionate about giving back to their employees, students, and communities. On behalf of the entire Maryland Tech Council community, I congratulate this year’s ICON Award winners and nominees for their achievements.”
