Clyde-Savannah English and Language Arts teacher Brian Poerio was recently selected as a Claes Nobel Educator of Distinction by The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS). A role model to pupils, Mr. Poerio was nominated by a student for outstanding dedication and commitment to excellence in the profession.
Each year student members of NSHSS are invited to nominate the educator who has made the most significant contribution to their academic career for this award. This honor recognizes exemplary educators whose passion and devotion inspire their students to grow and develop as scholars, leaders and citizens.
"Clyde-Savannah feels like my extended family," Poerio said. "I care for the children and their success and cherish their accomplishments as if they are my own. Supporting our students also supports their futures and our community's future. If what I do makes them feel like Clyde-Savannah is home and education is valuable, then I feel as though I have done a large part of what being a teacher should be. "
Congrats to Mr. Poerio on this honor!
