Alexandria City High School math teacher Essie Jones received the Teaching America250 Award from educational nonprofit the Jack Miller Center.
The award was presented to 51 teachers — one from each state and Washington, DC. It gives each recipient $5,000 to develop and implement an educational project on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This comes just ahead of the U.S. semi-quincentennial this July 4.
