PAEMST



Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) is the highest honor bestowed by the United States government specifically for K-12 science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and/or computer science teaching.  Awardees serve as models for their colleagues, inspiration to their communities, and leaders in the improvement of mathematics and science education.


Anyone - principals, teachers, parents, students, or members of the general public - may nominate exceptional educators who are teaching during at least 50% of their contractual time in math, science, technology, computer science, or engineering. Teachers may also apply directly at paemst.nsf.gov.  This site has more information about when nominations are open, and which grade levels are included for the current school year. 


For 2024-2025, the nomination/application period includes teachers working in secondary grades 7-12.  The application deadline is February 6, 2025, and details are posted at paemst.nsf.gov.  [Elementary K-6 teachers will be eligible to apply during the 2025-2026 cycle.]


For additional information, please contact Sue Palma and Stacie Broden, the State PAEMST State Co-Coordinators, at atomicmathpaemst@gmail.com.
