Stratford Teacher & Track Coach 'Always Willing To Lend a Hand'

STRATFORD, CT — Great teachers matter. In Stratford, we're fortunate to have teachers like Joe Palmucci.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Ken Poisson who nominated his colleague, Lead CTE teacher Joe Palmucci of Stratford.

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Joe is one of the most respected teachers, leaders, and track coaches of the state. He brightens the day of not only his students, but also his colleagues, administrators, and community members. He is always willing to lend a hand to his peers whether through his instructional rounds or inspirational messages found in the morning announcements. Joe is quite literally the glue holding Stratford High School together.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Joe knows every phone extension in the district and isn’t afraid to call or visit anyone to cheer them up!
