During her 40-year tenure at MTS, Nancy Tracy was one of the most revered of the school’s many excellent teachers. To honor her service and recognize future outstanding MTS educators, we established the Nancy Tracy Teaching Excellence Award in the Spring of 2020.
The Award is given every other year at Graduation to a teacher who has been at MTS for more than three years and embodies the spirit of Nancy's excellence in their pedagogy and care for students. The recipient will have the same commitment to teaching, learning, and community spirit that Nancy demonstrated over the years. The award winner will receive a cash grant of approximately $7,500 to spend on a trip or experience that will enrich their professional and personal life.
The Nancy Tracy Teaching Excellence Award is funded by the Nancy Tracy Teaching Excellence Endowment. Income generated from the Endowment will be invested in accordance with the MTS endowment policy. Income in the excess of the Award will be used to fund the MTS professional development budget.
