We are thrilled to share that Mrs. Lynn DeRosia, Croatan High School Math Teacher, has been named a Finalist for the 2026 ECU Clinical Teacher of the Year Award!
Presented by the East Carolina University College of Education and sponsored by the Walter and Daisy Carson Latham Clinical Schools Network, this prestigious award recognizes outstanding K–12 educators who serve as clinical teachers for ECU teacher candidates.
Each year, ECU student teaching interns nominate the clinical teachers who have made the greatest impact on their development as future educators. With more than 50 nominations submitted in 2026, only five teachers were selected as finalists , and we are proud to say Ms. DeRosia is one of them!
She was recognized for her exceptional dedication to mentoring teacher candidates, modeling strong instructional practices, and helping shape the next generation of educators. The finalists were honored at the ECU Clinical Teacher Summit on March 4.
Ms. DeRosia, thank you for the leadership, mentorship, and excellence you bring to our math classrooms and to the future of education. Croatan is proud! 💛 #CougarPride
