GCMS Math Teacher honored by State Organization
Snow Hill - In early November, Ricardo Arias, 7th Grade Math Teacher at Greene County Middle School was honored by the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM) as the Outstanding Secondary Teacher of 2022-2023. The honor was given to recognize Mr. Arias's constant dedication to improving instruction of Mathematics for students.
According to the NCCTM website, the award is given each year. It explained that “ school principals in North Carolina schools are encouraged to nominate the teacher they believe does the most effective job teaching mathematics in their school. From those nominated, each LEA selected one teacher to represent the best in mathematics teaching from the entire system.”
Mr. Arias has been teaching at Greene County Middle School for the past 6 years. In that time he taught 6th and 7th Grade Math and also taught 1 year as the Math 1 instructor for 8th grade. Mr. Arias is currently enrolled in the Principal Fellows Program through North Carolina Central University. Next year he will be leaving the classroom and completing his internship as an Assistant Principal.
Arias shared “I feel honored to represent the county that I work for and this award is a representation of the hard work and effort that goes into teaching.” Outside of the classroom for several year Arias served as the head coach of the Greene Central Soccer Team.
