Congratulations to Ms. Barbara Stansbury, who has gone from Brick Memorial’s Teacher of the Year to Brick Township Public School’s District Teacher of the Year!  All of the district teachers of the year will be honored at the May 11th Board of Education meeting which will be held right here at BMHS.  As the District Teacher of the Year, Ms. Stansbury will also be giving a speech that night.

This is Barbara Stansbury’s 19th year teaching for the Brick District.  This is also her second time receiving the honor of Teacher of the Year at Brick Memorial High School, as she was awarded the honor six years ago in 2016.

During most of her tenure here, she has served as the advisor of the Student Government Association.  She has taught all levels of classes for the English Department, most notably the freshmen, and will be teaching a new course called Sports and Literature next semester for juniors and seniors.  To say that Ms. Stansbury is a popular teacher is an understatement.  Not an event occurs without Ms. Stansbury’s attendance, for she strives to make sure that her students know that they are her lifeblood.

Ms. Stansbury brings joy and happiness to the building, both inside and outside of the classroom.  With the help of her Student Government students, she runs the Homecoming Dance, our incredibly popular Spirit Weeks, and numerous fundraisers to help those in need.  She also serves as an essay evaluator for the Daughters of Penelope National Scholarship which provides scholarships to support Education, Philanthropy, Civic Responsibility, Family & Individual Excellence. 

Simply put, Ms. Stansbury is the complete package, and therefore it is because of this high level of skill as an educator and her never-ending dedication to the school and greater community that the district proudly recognizes Ms. Stansbury as our 2022-2023 Brick Township District Teacher of the Year.
