๐ Congratulations to Seneca East High School science teacher Brooke Griffin, who has been named the 2026 Ohio Outstanding Biology Teacher of the Year by the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT)!
This Outstanding Biology Teacher Award recognizes excellence in biology and life science education, innovation in the classroom, a commitment to advancing scientific literacy and is among the most prestigious awards presented by the NABT. Mrs. Griffin was selected as Ohioโs Outstanding Biology Teacher from a pool of candidates across the state following a competitive review conducted by biology educators and professionals from throughout the United States.
Through hands-on investigations, inquiry-based learning, real-world applications, and community outreach opportunities, Mrs. Griffin inspires students to think like scientists and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. In addition to teaching Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, CCP/AP Biology, CCP Marine Science, and Forensic Science, she serves as advisor to Seneca Eastโs NABT BioClub, where students engage in science outreach and leadership opportunities throughout the community.
Mrs. Griffin has helped expand science opportunities for students through the development of new courses, college-credit opportunities, community partnerships, and annual field experiences focused on environmental science and conservation.
Mrs. Griffin will be formally recognized at Seneca East this fall and will represent Ohio at the National Association of Biology Teachers Professional Development Conference in Dallas, Texas, this October, where she will receive her official award alongside Outstanding Biology Teacher Award recipients from across the country.
Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Griffin on this well-deserved recognition and thanking her for the dedication, passion, and enthusiasm she brings to science education every day!
