The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) are the highest honors bestowed by the United States government specifically for K-12 science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and/or computer science teaching. The awards were established by Congress in 1983. Up to 108 teachers in these subjects could be named recipients each year.

“This is a tremendous honor for Ms. Hytower and it couldn’t be more deserving,” said CJHS Principal Travis Thomaston. “Not only is she an exceptional math teacher, but a good person. She exemplifies kindness one act at a time. Her strong bond with her students and their families has translated into impressive academic performances by her students. She is among the favorite teachers at CJHS.”

On Thursday, Hytower was recognized by state School Supt. Richard Woods at a ceremony in Atlanta. Anna Clifton, Carrollton City Schools assistant superintendent of Teaching and Learning, attended the recognition event.

“Only three 7-12 math teachers in the entire state received this honor,” she said. “It is a testament to the quality of Ms. Hytower’s instruction, the passion reflected in her work ethic, and her true desire to see all children succeed. We are so proud of her!”
