Congratulations to the 2018-2019 Newton Distinguished Faculty Award recipients!
  • Martha Guarisco, Sixth Grade English Teacher
  • Dr. Rebecca Kuhn, AP Psychology Teacher, Global and Social Studies Director
  • Christy Talbot, Fifth Grade Math Teacher

​Each year, Episcopal awards the Newton Distinguished Faculty Awards to three faculty members in recognition of their positive impact on students. This year’s recipients were recognized at a reception in which the award founders, Patty and Carl Newton and their daughter Nicole ’13, were present. Head of School Hugh McIntosh, members of the school’s Administrative Council and past award recipients were also in attendance.

Patty and Carl Newton established the Newton Distinguished Faculty Awards six years ago because of their belief that excellent teachers make a difference in the lives of students. Each year, three Newton Distinguished Faculty recipients are selected and awarded a stipend for professional development opportunities of their choice.

Read more about this year’s recipients below.
