Teacher of the Year at Postlethwait

Katie Comegys

Katie Comegys is a grade 6 social studies teacher at F. Niel Postlethwait Middle School. With six years experience, Katie earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Social Studies from the University of Delaware and a Master of Education in Instruction from Wilmington Univer-sity. “As a teacher, I have provided my students a loving environment while teaching them the information and skills that they’ll need to be successful. I am a firm believer in the fact that students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. I see students out and about that I had years ago; they come up to me, update me on their current grades, friends, boy/girlfriends, accomplishments, social lives, etc. I feel so privileged that I know these young people and even more privileged to know that they have the desire to address me in public. I feel that the relationships I have made with my students are of the utmost importance.”
