LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Her dedication to teaching students about real-life ecology challenges sets Angela Page apart from other teachers in Kentuckiana.
From tackling issues in our community, like plastic islands in Beargrass Creek, to solutions to environmental challenges at their own school, Mrs. page is all about practical teaching.
"One of the things that I think is cool about my class is that you get to go into the field and use equipment that you might get to be lucky enough to use in a graduate program,” Page said.
For 14 years she's called Male High School her home. Inspired from a young age to save the world, Mrs. Page is especially honored to see her work recognized on such a large stage.
“I mean I’m incredibly flattered. It shows if you work really hard and you stick with what you believe in, people will eventually take notice. I’m very proud," Page said.
"Students are better for being in her class. Male is better for having her as an educator. Her colleagues’ friends and family are better for being part of her life. The world is a better place because of the spark she ignites in us all," a Male High School teacher said.
Congrats to Mrs. Angela page of male high school on your 2020 Excel Award!
