Bonduel Middle School principal honored by MSOE

MILWAUKEE, WI (06/13/2012)(readMedia)-- Each academic quarter, graduating students from MSOE are invited to nominate an individual from their own secondary school experience or their working experience-someone who not only "knew her/his stuff," but could communicate it, and whose commitment to others included encouragement of further educational and career goals. MSOE is proud to recognize those who have had a significant influence on their students' futures. Not only does MSOE shine a spotlight on its graduates, but also thank those, who in some important way, motivated them, inspired them and helped make it happen for them.

Bonduel (Wis.) Middle School principal Mark Margelofsky received the VIP Excellence in Teaching Award from MSOE. Margelofsky was nominated by his former student Amanda Carpenter, who graduated with honors from MSOE with a bachelor's degree in nursing. Margelofsky was Carpenter's social studies teacher at Bonduel Middle School and basketball coach at Bonduel High School.

Carpenter said, "What makes 'Mr. Margo' stand out in my mind as an outstanding educator and person is his kindness, support and joy for mentoring his students and players. He influenced my future education and life goals by always pushing me to do better."
