 | 2009 Science and Math Principal of the Year
 | | B.J. Berg, principal, South Terrace Elementary, Carlton |
B.J. Berg, principal of South Terrace Elementary School, has
been named the 2009 Science and Mathematics Elementary Principal of the
Year.
Created through a partnership between the Science Museum
of Minnesota and the Minnesota Elementary School Principals’
Association (MESPA), the award recognizes the vital importance of
fostering lifelong science literacy and honors the key role principals
play in developing a culture that encourages and celebrates student
interest in math and science. The award is offered in alternate years
to specialty (science magnets and environmental education schools) and
general education school principals. In odd years such as 2009, the
award is offered to general education schools.
B.J. Berg has taken the lead as representative of the Carlton school
district on behalf of the elementary school, high school, community,
and other Carlton County school districts to partner with the Carlton
Soil and Water Conservation District, working diligently to secure
funding and coordinate construction for the South Terrace Outdoor
Learning Center.
The award committee was struck by several exemplary math and science literacy practices when reviewing Berg’s application.
