Sheree' Kearns, the facilities director of the Challenger Learning Center at
Kirby-Smith Middle, has been selected as a finalist for the Alan Shepard Technology in Education Award, awarded each year by the Astronauts Memorial Foundation in partnership with the Space Foundation and NASA.
The award recognizes outstanding contributions made by K-12 educators and district-level personnel in the field of educational technology. To be eligible to apply, Kearns had to demonstrate excellence in the development and delivery of school technology programs, as well as be nominated by her principal, June Marshall.
