Happy Teacher Appreciation Week - Day 5
STEM Educator of the Year - 2025
On Wednesday, May 7th, 2025 the Massachusetts STEM Teacher of the Year for Massachusetts was announced at Gillette Stadium at the Massachusetts STEM Summit. As part of honoring the teacher of the year, The New England Patriots committed a $5,000 grant to the winner’s school for STEM-related uses. The goal of the program is to recognize and honor a Massachusetts STEM teacher making significant contributions to STEM education and to promote the impact that educator is making in the field.
This year’s co-winner of STEM Teacher of the Year is Mrs. Tammy Rumplik, STEM teacher at Doering School. Mrs. Rumplik started her career in Agawam Public Schools as a paraprofessional in April, 1997 and as a Full Time Teacher in September, 1999. She transferred from a science teacher at Granger/Clark to STEM teacher at Doering in December 2021.
Congratulations, Mrs. Rumplik!
