December 2, 2011 - McClung Presented with Vi Hunsucker Award

December 2, 2011 - South Central High School science teacher Ann McClung was awarded the Vi Hunsucker award by the NC Science Teachers Association (NCSTA).

The Vi Hunsucker award is named after the NCSTA’s founder and first president. The award recognizes an outstanding science educator who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to serve the students and teachers of North Carolina. McClung found out about her award during the NCSTA’s annual conference at the award ceremony on Nov. 10.

“I was thrilled when I received the award, because most awardees are university or national winners,” McClung said.

McClung was also named The Outstanding Science Educator in North Carolina earlier this year. She has been working with Pitt County Schools for the last 25 years and currently teaches earth science, physical science and AP environmental science to 9-12 grade students.

“This award means a lot to me. This is the highest award given to a science teacher by the North Carolina Science Teachers Association and indicates dedication to the cause of teaching science. As a teacher, it is flattering that higher education leaders in the state have recognized my efforts with the organization and in the classroom,” McClung said.
