Washington County 2025 New Teacher Awardees
NYSUT Retiree Council (RC) 10 is pleased to announce the recipients of their New Teacher Award. RC 10 includes NYSUT retirees who worked in districts in Washington, Albany, Rensselaer and Saratoga counties.
RC 10 recognizes that those who are in the education field have many pressures on them, especially in their first years of teaching. That is why RC10 is pleased to give this monetary award to New Teachers.
RC 10 asked local association Presidents from all the districts in Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Washington Counties to submit names of new teachers. From those submissions, we randomly chose 4 winners.
This year, we are pleased to announce the following Washington County awardees: Whitni Izzo from Hartford School District and Morgan Austin from Salem School District.
