Please join us in congratulating Jen Roggi, who has been selected as the 2024-2025 Vernon Public Schools Teacher of the Year!
Ms. Roggi approaches her work with a growth mindset and is always seeking ways to refine her practice for the benefit of her students. Not only is she a tremendous teacher in her classroom, she has truly flourished in her role as our math facilitator. Under Ms. Roggi's leadership, the department has grown and evolved in a relatively short period of time. This recognition speaks to her dedication, talents, and the passion she has for helping all students grow in math.
Congratulations to Ms. Roggi in this well-deserved honor!
