Almost all of us have had a teacher who leaves his or her mark on our hearts and minds as an important influence. The lessons these educators leave with us often goes far beyond the topics associated with their subjects taught.

We would like to recognize a few of these remarkable middle and high school teachers who have influenced the lives of New Brunswick’s students and made STEM learning fun!
