Mr. Neil Kenny has been recognized as the MAST Plymouth County Science Educator of the Year honoring his leadership in promoting and advancing quality science education among colleagues and students. Mr. Kenny exemplifies excellence in teaching through thoughtfully designed lessons, engaging classroom instruction, and a deep commitment to student learning. He also serves as a valued resource as he supports colleagues to strengthen their practice and become more effective educators.
Mr. Kenny's commitment to continuous learning was especially evident when he stepped in to teach physics during a staffing shortage, transitioning from biology to become a full-time physics teacher. He completed the AP Summer Institute for AP Physics 1 and guided students in an open-enrollment AP program. 100% of the students earned qualifying scores on the exam. Mr. Kenny subsequently expanded his expertise and is now teaching the calculus-based AP Physics C.
Mr. Kenny's influence extends well beyond his classroom. Through his instructional expertise, collaboration, and willingness to take on new challenges, he strengthens science education throughout the school community and models lifelong learning for both students and colleagues.
Congratulations Mr. Kenny!
