Chapel Hill High School teacher wins national honors

Feb 4, 2010 Schools Jump to Comments

History teacher William V. Melega received the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) National Citizenship Education Teacher Award.

The VFW chooses three teachers each year for the award, one each from elementary, middle and high school. Teachers are nominated by their peers and enter into local and statewide competition.

Each teacher receives $1,000 dollars for their professional development and another $1,000 goes to their schools. In addition, the teachers receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. in March to receive their awards.

Melega had previously won Chapel Hill High School Teacher of the Year and is known for bringing his history lessons to life.
