Panther Creek High School teacher Gail Barkes has been selected as a North Carolina finalist by the state-level selection committee for the 2009 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching Program. Barkes is one of three teachers of science selected to represent the state and will attend an honors reception on November 5.
As a state-level finalist, she is automatically a candidate for the state Presidential Award. The teacher selected as the state Presidential Awardee will be notified officially by the White House and will receive $10,000 and an all-expense paid trip for two to Washington D.C., where all Presidential Awardees will be honored during a variety of recognition events.
