In 2002, a JMHS parent, Maria Coyle, developed a teacher recognition award call the Triple I Award. “Triple I” stands for Innovate-Instruct-Impact and the awards are designed to acknowledge the teachers that have been exceptional educators in the eye of their peers, their students and the students’ parents. Nominations are being accepted now through May 3 for this year’s awards.

Ten teachers will receive the honor of being named a Triple I teacher, based on the nominations received. A nomination form is attached below. Hard copies are also available in the main office.

Please nominate your outstanding teachers for this special honor and email your completed form to tripleiaward@jmhsptsa.org or drop it off in the main office by May 3.

In prior years, one award winner was selected as Teacher of the Year; however, FCPS has changed their program and that teacher will be selected in October through a separate nomination process.

NOMINATION FORM

The PTSA will award scholarships to three seniors who exemplify the qualities of service within the school and community. At the convocation ceremony, four applicants will receive a $1000 scholarship for “making a difference” (e.g., involvement at school, volunteer work, community service, paid work such as babysitting, helping their family, or other ways of enriching the lives of others). 

The application and all requested documents are due to Mrs. Otto in the Career Center by Friday, May 3rd, 2019. CLICK HERE for Application.

Madison High School and the PTSA continue to work together to provide a Food Pantry for students and families in need. And we need your support!  We distribute approx 30-40 bags of food each week to Madison students (and their families) in need.  This school year, we have also provided school supplies as well as winter clothing to our students in need. Through a partnership with CHO, we were able to provide bicycles for those that needed them to get to work and school.  And we provided approx 125 bags personal hygiene items to students before winter break. We also have partnered with BRAWS to provide feminine hygiene products each month to students in need.   

Thank you to all who have supported this effort!

Here are ways that you can still help:  Purchase items needed on a continuing basis and deliver to Madison HS front office, order items directly from Amazon, they will ship to the school, or make an on-line donation.
