Huge congratulations to our former NVMS math teacher and current KHS math teacher and IBMYP coordinator, Kristie Yamamoto! Kristie is one of five Hawaii State finalists for the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). This is the highest recognition for a K-12 teacher in science or math for outstanding teaching. Let’s all wish her well in being selected as Hawaii’s representative at the national level!
Kristie is also receiving another recognition – she will be inducted into the Kaiser Athletic Foundation Hall of Honor. Since the 1990s there are 15 inductees of which Kristie will be only the second female to be honored. She will be recognized among outstanding athletes, coaches, and athletic directors affiliated with Kaiser High School. A plaque in her honor (image cast in bronze!) will be hung alongside past notable inductees Akebono (Chad Rowan), Sid Fernandez, Clay Stanley to name a few…
Congratulations, Kristie!
