Mrs. Amy Zache wins Teacher Impact Award

With the help of Principal Amy Fadorsen, P-H-M Superintendent Dr. Jerry Thacker dropped in on Mrs. Amy Zache’s 3rd grade class this morning to let her know that she had earned a P-H-M Impact Award! Click to see the full photo gallery.

When measuring IREAD scale score growth of classrooms from the students’ 2nd grade to 3rd grade scores, Mrs. Zache’s students had the highest average scale score growth in all the district!

Dr. Thacker was accompanied by other members of P-H-M Administration Dr. Heather Short, Assistant Superintendent; Ryan Towner, Director of Literacy; and Jennifer Turnblom McClain, Executive Director of the P-H-M Education Foundation.

Thank you to the P-H-M Education Foundation for covering the cost for the beautiful crystal awards which teachers can proudly display in their classrooms.

The Spring 2025 P-H-M Teacher Impact Awards are given to educators who had the most significant individual student growth with DIBELS, IREAD, ILEARN, and AP testing. Dr. Thacker awarded six other teachers with Impact Awards between April 1st and April 3rd. Click here more details.
