Margaret Hersey Wins MA Milken Award in Springfield

 

 

Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno congratulates Milken Educator Award recipient Margaret Hersey. Margaret challenges her students with elevated conversations, complex projects and provocative texts. Springfield Honors Academy is only in its third year, but students are making great progress. Though many came from underperforming middle schools with significant deficits in reading and writing, Margaret’s students achieved a 510% gain on MAP assessments in the school’s first year.
