Cinnaminson Teacher Honored As Governor's Educator Of The Year Winner

CINNAMINSON, NJ - A Cinnaminson Township teacher was recently honored with an accolade from the state for his hard work and service to the local school district.

Cinnaminson High School teacher Patrick McNamara was selected as one of the 2022-23 Governor's Educator of the Year recipients, the school district said in a statement last week.

McNamara has served as a special education teacher for over a decade and has played a pivotal role in the creation and expansion of the Life Skills program at the high school, officials said.

“Mr. McNamara is an easy pick for this award as he represents all of the things we look for in an educator of the year,” Cinnaminson Township Public Schools said in a statement. “He is a master of his craft. He is charismatic in the classroom and has an incredible gift for working with students.”

“What sets Mr. McNamara apart is his ability to connect with individual students in his classroom,” the school district added. “They know he is authentically interested in who they are as a person in addition to who they are as a student. He is invested in their future and will help them overcome any obstacle that might be in the way of them accomplishing their goals.”

Congratulations to Mr. MacNamara!
