Each year Golden Apple recognizes seven teachers from around New Mexico with the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching.

The Award winners - Golden Apple Fellows - give back to the profession through the many ways, both formal and informal, in which they mentor and help prepare other teachers.

These seven middle school teachers were recently named winners of the 2009 Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching.

  • Crystal Gallegos teaches Language Arts and Technology at Coronado Mid/High School in Gallina, in the Jemez Mountain Public Schools district.
  • Laura Greer teaches 7th grade science and integrated science at Houston Junior High School in Hobbs Municipal Schools district, in addition to serving as the school’s science department chair.
