The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community. This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to present the “Excellence in Education Award” to Julie Busch, Rachelle Gardner and Lisa Schermerhorn on achieving National Board Certification in 2022.
Julie Busch
Julie Busch has devoted twenty-eight years of her career in education to Milwaukee Public Schools and currently serves the district as a K4 teacher at Clement Avenue School. Julie has been married almost 17 years to her husband Bryan and has two dogs, Sasha and Wanda. The most satisfying part of Julie’s job is working with the students and seeing how they learn and grow throughout the year. This is what makes her job so fulfilling.
Rachelle (pronounced Ruh-shel) Gardner
Rachell Gardner has devoted thirty-three years of her career in education to Milwaukee Public Schools and currently serves as an itinerant teacher of the visually impaired. Rachelle is an MPS graduate from Alexander Hamilton High School and has two sons, James and Aaron. Rachelle enjoys learning about her students and their individual needs. She finds ways to make learning fun and accessing their curriculum easier for them. By teaching, she feels she is making a difference in the lives of her students.
Lisa Schermerhorn
Lisa Schermerhorn has devoted twenty-two years of her career in education to Milwaukee Public Schools and currently serves as an itinerant teacher of the visually impaired. Lisa enjoys reading and swimming when she is not working on lesson plans. The most satisfying part of Lisa’s job is problem solving to understand the needs of her students and then making the adaptions or modifications so that the students can participate with their peers.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors honors Julie Busch, Rachelle Gardner and Lisa Schermerhorn for their dedication and commitment to excellence on behalf of the students of the Milwaukee Public Schools and achieving National Board Certification. |
