Anthony Kilgore, a Boardman native and YSU graduate, received the
2002-03 Outstanding First-Year Teacher Award in the Manassas City
Public Schools in Virginia. Kilgore, who completed his student teaching
assignment at Austintown-Fitch High School before graduating from
YSU, currently teaches 9th-grade Earth Science, 12th grade Oceanography, and
12th grade Astronomy at Osbourn High School in Manassas.
To quote Dr. Perry Pope, the principal at Osbourn High: "Tony
teaches earth science with enthusiasm and energy. He recognizes
the dignity and worth of his individual students. He has an innovative
approach and dedication to the profession."
When contacted by email regarding this recognition, Tony wrote
back: "Teaching is the best job in the world!!! I have so much fun every
day I come to work. I have developed a few new methods of doing things which
some of the other teachers in the building have talked to me about and are
starting to implement in their classes."
