Greg Severino, “Mr. Sev”, from the Nazareth Academy High School in Philadelphia, PA was awarded this year’s Outstanding Teacher Award!

Read the submission from his students below:

“His passion for math and science (especially when it’s applied to rocketry) is unmatchable.  He puts his heart and soul into his work and you can really see it by the impressions he leaves on his students.  He helped me find a passion in science that I never thought I had.  He wants us to be the best we can be and believes in us more than I’ve ever had any other adult (besides my parents) believe in me.   He’s at every build session to ensure we are building safely and answer any question along with give us neat little tips and tricks.  He’s also at every single field date no matter how early or cold with the biggest smile on his face.  He’s proud of us because we are us.  Not only does he give us insight on aerodynamics, he also gives us strength to achieve our dreams.”
