President MessageThe board wanted to take a moment to thank and recognize our former President Dennis Edmondson who is terming off as President and stepping down from the board to spend time with his family and to focus on enjoying his retirement. Maine’s Teacher of the Year in 2005, Dennis taught Social Studies at Mt. Ararat High School in Topsham, ME before retiring in 2023. A true history lover and passionate teacher, Dennis served the MCSS board with dedication and humor. Upon his resignation, Dennis said of MCSS: “We have faced many challenges the last few years….however, I feel [the board’s] collective and continued efforts will soon be rewarded. I hold much appreciation for a group of dedicated people who value the need for improving the teaching of social studies in our great state of Maine.” Thank you for volunteering your time and expertise with us, Dennis; MCSS wishes you the best!Kathleen Kneumann MCSS Acting President Board of DirectorsExecutive Officers: Kathleen Kneumann, president-elect Michelle Strattard, secretary Donna Olsen, treasurer |
