About The Newton Upper School Distinguished Faculty Award
Patty and Carl Newton established the Newton Distinguished Faculty Award five years ago because they believe that faculty can make a tremendous difference in the lives of Episcopal students.  Each year, three Newton Distinguished Faculty Scholarships are awarded for professional development opportunities of the recipients’ choice.

Joan Moroney is in her eleventh year of teaching mathematics. She has taught Honors Geometry, Algebra II, and Honors Algebra II at Episcopal and is a co-sponsor of the Mu Alpha Theta math competition team. Before coming to Episcopal in 2014, Joan taught high school credit math courses to gifted students at Glasgow Middle School in Baton Rouge. She has a Bachelor of Science in secondary mathematics education from North Carolina State University and a master’s degree in education from Louisiana State University in gifted education. 

Cory Lemoine is a first grade teacher with 14 years of experience in the classroom.  As a graduate of Louisiana State University with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education, Cory taught second and third grades for ten years in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System.  His journey continued to the Zachary Community School System for three years in first grade before joining the faculty at Episcopal.  He is a dedicated member of the Capital Area Reading Council and Louisiana Reading Association.  In his free time, he likes to travel, garden, read, craft, and enjoy time with family and friends.

Julie Weaver teaches seventh grade American history. A native of Baton Rouge, she earned a bachelor of arts in history from Louisiana State University and a juris doctor from Louisiana State University Law Center.
