The award recognizes exceptional teachers for their outstanding commitment to teaching Americanism and patriotism to their students. Mrs. Rodrigues will now advance to the state-level competition. Andrea Fowler, parent of a former student, submitted the nomination for Rodrigues. “Mrs. Rodrigues is always there to encourage the students. She is a ‘one-of-a-kind’ teacher. She continues to check on her students even after they leave class for the year,” she said.
