Teacher Keynoter Award
The fall in-service day highlights a District tradition that honors faculty. For 18 years, South Brunswick has selected one of its teachers to present the Keynote Speech. The honoree, a distinguished "master teacher" is asked to share his/her story, both professional and personal, in front of all South Brunswick administration and faculty at the fall Professional Development Day. This honor is called the Spicer-Stewart Keynoter Award, a distinction begun by the former Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Samuel B. Stewart and Assistant Superintendent, Willa Spicer. A Tiffany crystal apple paperweight is presented to the honored recipient as a gift from Dr. Stewart and Mrs. Spicer.
